1. There’ s a big difference in what you officially
write at work, vs. comments you post online on your own time.
a) True. b) False.
Answer: b). While theoretically there may be some anonymity in what you post“ privately,” in reality your online presence makes no distinction between your personal and professional image. Virtually anyone can find out what you are supporting, denouncing or commenting about online. Assume any comment you make about anyone will be read by that person, and possibly by others including your employer and customer. Any image or comment you post that comes across as meanspirited, inappropriate or biased will hurt your reputation. Think twice before you hit send or post, both at work and at home.
2. Your e-mail subject line most often:
a) Consists of a generic topic i. e., Anderson account or file 958303.
