Yesterday,
I posted about
how social media posts
under your own name
can cost you
your dream job.
But-but-but I’m not a writer,
you say.
I don’t have a pen name.
You likely have
a first name.
Post under that.
Or initials.
Or a passion.
The ‘trick’
is to not easily be
identified,
to leave some doubt
in employer’s minds
that the person posting
is you.
When you are approached
about it,
respond with
“Wow.
There are quite a few
Jills in the world,
aren’t there?”
And leave it at that.
Leave room for doubt.
