And so ? what comes out ?

-> me it's design related articles, mostly through my design university (work, achievements, interview) and coroflot (an international design portfolio website) nothing bad for my image, only good.... :sweatdrop:
Just checking, I heard more and more employers google their candidates names, so.....

embarrassing and scary stuff...an abandoned xanga (which I locked, thankfully), me mentioned in other people's blogs, archived newspaper articles about my scholarships, my profile when I worked for the dean of students at my university, information about my honors thesis including my powerpoint presentation...

Sometimes I wish this information wasn't on there. Call me crazy, but I google my name all the time...I don't like information about me being on the internet.

The first thing that comes up is a work publication that shouldn't have had my name as the contact person. I received sooo many phone calls after that thing got mailed out. The second thing that comes up is my name in our online company directory.

Yes, i googled myself up! But weird things come out because of my last name is of italian descent, so everything about opera. Anyways, some of the things that come up is when I was interviewed by NBC for being like one of the spokeperson for a scholarship in California, it also talks about when I had a presentation with the Mayor of Los Angles, and somethiing about me in my school winning some contest!

Be warned - especially if you're addicted to this forum - I googled myself ( not much, v boring) but then lost days of my life googling everyone I know whos name I could think of - Its fun ( and feels a bit -ok very- nosey:whistle:) I had to stop when I found a link to a naked picture of someone from school (he he in order to share info with my GFs had to divulge secret googling habit)

Just stuff that I've worked on back in college. I also found out that I actually share the exact first AND last name of a professor/psychologist in the East Coast. And no, my name is not Sigmund Freud... :smile:
