Google Yourself

How many of you have actually done a google search on yourself? I have.

I think in this day and age it is so important that you do that in order to see what shows up. It is especially important if you are searching for a job since many employers and recruiters will do an internet search before hiring someone. With the variety of sites that we put our information on - Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc. - material is readily available for anyone to see.

On a recent google search of myself, I found that a posting I had made on someone else's Facebook showed up on the first page of the search. Luckily it wasn't anything that could be taken out of context the wrong way, but I now know that I need to be more careful.

So, what comes up on your Google search? Try it today to find out.
