Have you ever tried? Googling your own name I mean. I have a very generic name, so most everything that comes up is about another Andrea Newman. I have to go the the second page of listings, and then only does a directory of LinkedIn users come up with my name. Luckily, I'm the first one.
According to "Turning to the Web to verify jobseekers’ data", 77 percent of executive recruiters use the Internet to uncover additional information about candidates. My advise? Google yourself. Find out if there is any potentially harmful information about you on the world wide web. If so, fix it if you can. If you can't find anything, make something; a blog, a LinkedIn profile, a CareerFolio, etc. You want to have a good presence online, not a non-existent one.
