Have you ever googled yourself? Your digital identity can make or break your job prospects! Make sure all your social media profiles are appropriate or hidden, create a Linkedin if you don't have one, and take control of what people can find out about you via a quick Google search (looking at you, tinder match)!

Linkedin Learning

Learn a new language.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.
