Abstract: College students face a real challenge of achieving a career dream. When the education process gets to a successful end, graduating with honors, and high GPA, it appears all things are possible. In the 21st century, social network activity, its experiences and excitements are all too real. It is imperative to network, stay in touch, be informed, collaborate, and keep up with a world that is constantly changing. Social network sites can construct a digital trail on an individual with unique information that could rival fingerprint imaging. The term to use here is the “Digital Footprint”, it sets a new paradigm for personal identification, and it is pervasive, as it is ubiquitous. A digital footprint may be critical to future graduate hiring by use of bot hiring agents, and/or artificial intelligence. How tomorrows’ graduate can better navigate the social network clickstreams without putting their career path at risk is the core topic of this research. This is an exploratory paper on this subject.
