Content

Once something goes on the internet, it's often there forever - even if you delete it - and anyone can find it, sometimes just by searching for your name. And, just because something is only online, it doesn’t mean it can’t affect you in the offline world. With this in mind, we challenge you to really reflect on whether you’re making the best first impression to someone who may never even have met you.
