Branded: Recruiters and Job Candidates Create Their Digital Images
Those days are over, friends. You refused to get a drink off the top shelf of the refrigerator for your little brother 25 years ago, that’s going on his blog. You try to be funny on MySpace and you come off like kind of a jerk, countless people are gonna know about it. Anonymity is no longer part of our daily lives, and people are inundated with so many sounds and images that it’s become harder and harder to make a name for yourself simply by doing a solid day’s work.

Having a strong Plan B means conducting searches that provide you with confidentiality while you’re still at your job.
