Ain't Google something?

Yesterday I was contacted by a Jamie Bruzenak. She was astonished there was another person with the same name (even though we spell our first names different). She was searching Google for entries about herself and came across my name misspelled. It turns out her grandfather was George's father's brother so they are related. The spelling of Bruzenak was changed when the original Bruzenak came to Ellis Island so it is a one-of-a-kind name.

It's amazing what you can find on Google - and what others can find out about you. Have you searched your name on Google or other search engine? Many employers are doing a Google search of the names of candidates they are considering for employment. Would an employer be turned off by entries he found about you? Do you have photos of yourself that are less than dignified? Have you made a negative comment about an employer on your Web site or on a public forum or social media site? This sort of thing could give an employer a poor impression about you.

Do a search of Google and other search engines. See what comes up. If there is something offending remove it if you can or ask that it be removed. Don't let something from your past come back to haunt you. Jaimie Hall Bruzenak
