If you find yourself asking any of the above questions, you should get stuck into Wide Open Privacy: Student Edition.

Wide Open Privacy was a book launched last year by two security and privacy experts at AVG and it looks at how the world is changing thanks to the internet and social media.

Now, they have launched a special student version, which is FREE, which looks specifically at the important stage where students leave their “relaxed” college lives and enter the working world.

Rather than being a patronising list of things you’re not allowed to do, Wide Open Privacy: Student Edition examines the real situation that students are facing and gives applicable and practical advice to grooming your online image without losing your personality, one of your greatest job seeking assets.

It’s important that each student take responsibility for bringing their online lives up to speed, as author Siobhan McDermott explains: “Individuals need to take personal control of their digital destinies. Wide Open Privacy offers clear strategies and tech-savvy tactics to achieve the necessary control to live safer, more productive lives online.”

AVG has recently completed a Digital Diaries study on this exact life stage called Digital Baggage and is definitely worth checking out. It shows just how many HR professionals would pull the plug on your application based on embarrassing pictures, or whether it’s worse to rant than to drink.

We also prepared this lovely little guide to help young adults navigate their way around the online world of work, called: “How to be Facebook friends with your boss and keep your job”.

So with all of that information out there, there’s really no excuse to miss out on the job of your dreams because you’re online life isn’t in order. Grab a copy of Wide Open Privacy: Student Edition and go get ‘em.
