Have you ever Googled yourself?

This may be a silly question, but indeed I am sure that all of us out there at some point have googled our name to see what pops up in the search results. This is actually a smart move to make, you better believe that in this world where we are reliant on the internet 24-7 with any chance of getting a job your future employer is going to google, facebook or myspace you! I am sure you have heard this before but it is so true that one picture of you taking a beer bong could alter the course of getting a job you really want.Be sure that you change all of your settings to private on the social networking sites you belong to. You never know what could be floating around on the web about you that maybe you didn’t even know about there could be pictures up from friends websites or anything else that is public.  

On the other hand there is a new trend that is currently more in the design field but I think will expand and eventually become the norm. People are creating websites including their resumes, a professional picture, and any other exhibits or their work that they would like to show. It doesn’t have to be a comlicated website but rather just a interactive resume so that instead of having to open and print attachments companies can simply click on a link and discover more about you than maybe just a plain sheeted resume could offer.

The internet is the BEST resource for job searching, information, resume suggestions and a good outlet to let others know more about you just be very careful and particular about what information you put out there, the world is a big place…but the world wide web is even bigger!
