Manage Your Shadow Resume:
Your Brand on the Internet
• Recruiters and college admissions personnel are
searching online to conduct background checks on
potential employees and students through Google,
Facebook, LinkedIn, Friendster, etc.
• They look for red flags that may suggest poor judgment,
lack of professionalism, or lack of fit with the organization
(inappropriate language of photos)
