Standout Quotes:
  1. “These days, that online image or online presence is so important. It almost is more important than a resume or a portfolio.” - Catherine Bosley
  2. “My first step with a response is to ignore the negative because the more you respond to the negative, especially in a defensive negative way, the more you're going to fuel that fire and the more it's going to catch on and become part of your forever and for all to see.” - Catherine Bosley
  3. “Understand that people are watching and people especially are looking for those social media gold moments, and if they capture you having one of those ‘what was I thinking?’ moments, because we all have them. We're all human. We all make mistakes. Then you just don't know what that's going to do to your world on the personal side or on the professional side." - Catherine Bosley
