With the rise of social media and digital devices, people face an ever- increasing risk of hackers, cyber predators, and manipulation. Tyler reveals how anything you and your children post is permanent and can be used against you.
She explains how recruiters and other organizations piece together your social media postings to create a profile of you, emphasizing that once you know their methodologies, you can make the system work to your advantage. “You can easily put together a target. You can really understand a person based on their social media presence,” Tyler comments on the good aspect of this for businesses. “But the bad news is that they can do that to you. The good news is that once you understand how to control it you can make it appear how you want it to appear.”
Tyler Cohen Wood speaks on the consequences your online persona could have on your career. She details that recruiters not only examine the superficial content of what you’ve posted, but your habits and purpose behind posting.
She surveys various stereotypes of posters that recruiters often group potential job candidates under, including the one-upper, who tries to outdo the posts of others. “It can seem innocuous,” she comments, “but remember when you’re putting these puzzle pieces together the perception a recruiter’s going to have is this person probably isn’t going to work well in a team and may have authority issues.”
A well-known authority for her work with digital forensics and Cyber Intelligence, Tyler Cohen Wood has presented at conferences across the country. She demystifies the cyber world, illustrating with clear entertaining examples how virtual activity can make an erasable impact on real life.
Tyler’s presentations focus on how businesses can prevent hacking and cyber crime in order to avoid unresolvable damages.

On the other side of digital profiling, Tyler gives individuals the secrets to building a positive online persona that companies will want to hire.
