This CAN'T be helping my job search.

[_duffy_]

So I finished a resume for another position a bit ago, and thought "I should Google myself, see what comes up- maybe make sure my Facebook/Myspace/etc pages aren't showing anything too incriminating".

So I Google my name, and my Facebook is up there at the top-ish. No problem- it's not like I have anything incriminating on there anyway. Then, a few

well if it makes you feel better the decision here wasn't based upon that!

(sorry again dude, i don't want you to feel like you wasted your time here. if something opens, which might be likely, i'm calling you first!)

[_duffy_]

Bwahahaha- yeah, I figure if you were harboring any misgivings about my potential serial-rape proclivities, you would have said something.

Seriously though, man- it's not a thing, and it totally wasn't a waste of time. If something comes up, though, definitely let me know if I might fit.

[westheoperative]

oh you'd fit and were my choice. however when i have to pass the material onto the boss, she liked the other dude better. maybe because he's canadian?!

[_duffy_]

Canadian? Does that count as racism?

Maybe eh-cism?

Dude, if the Canadian thing was a factor why didn't you tell her I've got like fifty fucking leaves tattooed on my arm?

:D

remember that the top 3 results in google get 70% of the traffic. so with your #1 ranking you're winning (actually, dominating) the google battle against the other dude.

i dominate the 1st two results for my name... but the 3rd is a Rip Off Report on some shadey mechanic in alabama.

[_duffy_]

Dude, seriously. "Shady mechanic" is practically an oxymoron. I'll take that over serial rapist any day.

[seacircle]

Yeah, the guy in the picture totally resembles you. I think you're fucked.

Man the #1 for my name is fucking depressing. It's a story about a 14 year old girl who was beaten to death by some 20 year old guy after refusing to have sex with him.

[_duffy_]

Man, that's no good. You need to get on building your brand, dammit! You want me to see if I can do anything about that? No promises that the new #1 won't be worse.

[gardnermer]

Well, if you put my middle name in, then the top hit is a mention in the eagle about graduating in the top 5%. THe #3 hit is about my other self who was a code breaker in the cold war. Without my middle name, it's all about the man of international code-breaking fame.

I'm lucky he's not a rapist.
