From the digital visitor and resident model, we can see that it is very essential for students to develop their social network and leave their footprints online. A variety of digital platforms are used by students, such as Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Gmail, Skype, Google Search etc.

As a student, it is significantly necessary to expand our professional learning in order to develop ourselves and pursue an ideal career. There are many online platforms for students to gain their knowledge and connect with others. Usually, interactive learnings are far more efficient and effective comparing to passive learning. students can connect and develop better by participating and exchanging ideas than simply receiving information from sources. For example, Linked In is a extremely useful platform for students who are looking for jobs after graduation. This platform provides the requirements and the sets of skills that their desired candidates should have. Therefore, students as visitors could prepare ahead and then engage with them later as digital residents.

I believe that creating a positive digital identity requires reputation and appropriate language used in the context. Sharing healthy and motivative contents are extremely significant in order to show others the positivity you have toward life. Moreover, staying connected with others through interaction would definitely help me develop my personal skills and stay ready for the upcoming opportunities in the near future.

The employer can absolutely search the content. Employers always try to meet the desired candidates who satisfy all the requirements. However, resumes cannot be completely trusted without evidences and references. Therefore, investigations are essential for the employers to filter out the candidates who do not meet the requirements.   The results that the employer gets after searching and confirming could be either a hinder or a bonus based on if the information that the candidate provided was true and accurate.
