More Online Reputation Management Advice

CAREEREALISM has a great post up called You WILL Get Googled…Are You Afraid? with advice on how to manage your online reputation. This article fits very well with a post I wrote a few months ago called Fixing a Damaged Online Reputation.

Among the great advice in this piece…

Collect a list of professional portfolio items that you can share, and post them on the appropriate sites. For example, if you have developed Power Point presentations, load them onto SlideShare.com with your name all over it. If you wrote articles, then publish them on eZineArticles.com. If there are videos of you, put them on YouTube.

I agree completely. It’s best that you take control of your online reputation and shape it before someone else can (either intentionally or unintentionally).

This piece is really worth a read. The author is dead-on talking about how the majority of employers will Google (or Bing!) job candidates. Take this advice and don’t let the Internet get the best of you in your job search!
