I am just wondering if anyone had Google themselves? I have tried it myself just to see if I am Google but no luck. I saw a news channel that did a topic on " Should you Google yourself?' They said that a lot of recruiters Google their future employees just to see what come out as there is a lot of networking site such as facebook, my space etc. base on that they would hire their new employees. What I like to know if anyone out there have Google themselves and What have they found out?

I hadn't thought about employers googling prospective employees, but you are probably right and that shouldn't be allowed. THey are basing hiring you on your personal life, not your professional abilities and that should be illegal. I don't take my personal life to the office anymore than I take my office life into my home... if the employer can't do that, they don't deserve to be an employer

Yeah I already did! I was surprised at the number of people, with the same name as mine (many in England) who have made something of themselves. As far as finding a mention of myself, Nothing, Zilch, Naught. I'm just a common little man living in an infamous place, during a non eventful time.
