    Brilliant, just what I tell my clients! So very important.

    Unfortunately it's a case of 'do what I say, not what I do': if you google me (Marianne Cantwell) instead of simply seeing a blindingly brilliant (and supremely modest) career coach, with a decent corporate background... on the 4th hit down you find references to a thesis on a certain popular US TV show I sadly wrote while at university. It gets worse 'below the fold'. And it's very sad when you get to Wikipedia.

    Have tried to shunt it down the list with Linked In and by writing Career articles, however Google never forgets...

    Any tips on 'slaying' misguided academic papers, Harry?

    Great article!

    It is amazing how compartmentalized some people view the internet. I have been intrigued by how proactively one should be promoting thier online brand. I am of the believe that if their is nothing to hide from you should just include all of your screen names on your resume so that you are controlling what people see. So like the friend with the unique name there is no confusion. In any sort of branding you want to control the content that people see!

    Keep up the great work Harry!

    This is dead on. Bill Boorman and I definitely agree with you and wrote a related post: http://tinyurl.com/n9j8he<br />
