ManageYour Brand! It’s Critical to your success!

You on GOOGLE?

You find anything interesting? One of the things you probably found was every other person with your name. And, you might have been surprised to see that there is a scoundrel or two out there with your name or your nickname. You need to be aware of this in case it comes up.
EVEN MORE CRITICAL – YOUR PAGES
You probably also found your Facebook or MySpace page and your Twitter account. They are part of the public record on you. Whether or not you like it, prospective employers will GOOGLE you and find out what they can.
How embarrassed will you be when a prospective employer sees what you’ve written on your Facebook or MySpace pages or when they see what you are Twittering?
Are there comments about that party you had? Or, about how much you had to drink last Friday night?
Also, how embarrassed will you be when they see what your friends have written?
TIP: Do what you can to fix the content of your Facebook & MySpace accounts by eliminating anything that will cause embarrassment. And, be careful about what you TWEET! Remember, all of this is PUBLIC information.
