The combination of better technology and a strong economy are even more important that a candidate will catch up with what? It’s happening now, or risk a very long job search.

1. Avoid? Missing person? problems!

Many job seekers believe it is not visible in a Google search of the name is good for them. I’m confused “invisibility” in the “privacy” – two very different things! Privacy is good, invisibility is bad!

invisible makes them look like a “missing person” – possibly out-of-date. And worse, invisible makes them vulnerable to problems of mistaken identity as someone with the same name has a bad reputation online.

The best strategy is to make good things prospective employers specific to the job seeker, and controlled by the job seeker (see # 2).

A recent study conducted by Microsoft, 79% of employers monitored online reputation candidates’ first contact them. Thus, online reputation management is critical in today’s job market. Two good tools for managing online reputation is LinkedIn and Google + because the unemployed person determines what each of the world around them.
