Summary.
If you are looking for a new job, interested in boosting your personal brand, enhancing your career, or simply trying to improve your understanding of how other people see you, it is important to become aware of the story your public data tells — and understand how to change it. A common myth is that algorithms are impossible to fool or trick. But if you understand the formula they are using to analyze you, you can modify your behaviors to curate the image you want others to see, including: your photographs, videos, tone of voice, the words you use to communicate, and social media posts, shares, and likes.
