Through this four part series, you’ll learn how to optimize your profile for potential employers, how to attract employers to your profile, how to find the “right” recruiters, and how to interact with the employers once you’ve found them.

Social Media: Google Kills Your Job Search If It Thinks You’re A Porn Star

How could Google think you, a God-fearing, church going woman (or man), are a porn star?

Or an axe-murderer? How about a bank robber, white-collar criminal, or even a sex-offender?

Google could not only be thinking this, but broadcasting it to the world daily … if you let them. This is especially a risk if you have a common name, that could easily be confused with someone else’s.

Google has no way of showing if the Susan Jones returned in a Google search is you, or if a different Susan Jones. If there is someone else who shares your name, but with a very different background – that person could easily show up far ahead of you in a Google search. If that someone else had many stories written about them, made the news or shows up in many places around the web, they probably rank much higher than you in a Google search – you might be buried on page 100, while the other Susan Jones gets page 1. » Read more: Social Media: Google Kills Your Job Search If It Thinks You’re A Porn Star
