![]() If you have something published then that I think most would care about. The fact that you blog about your thoughts on healthcare reform and whatever else are not going to help you any tiny little bit in my opinion. Blogging isn't going to help you get a job, even having something published is unlikely to help much for most positions. Either way, what you mention certainly won't harm your chances so there is no reason to not do it if you have the time/motivation, just don't be delusional and think it will help you land a job.

![]() Forget your professional image, the real reason not to archive your personal information with Facebook is because, well, you're archiving your personal information with Facebook.

![]() When I was offerred my current job, there were several hits from the IP address of my employer on various websites/blogs that have my name linked to it. Clearly they did fairly extensive google searching for me.

![]() ...which makes me think these "background checks" are only rudimentary since (1) the company can't even manage to cover its own tracks by using a proxy, and (2) it's fairly easy to game search engines into burying the lede if you do have skeletons, rendering them rather useless as scavengers of personal information.

![]() I read that same article today so I googled my name to see what came up. My name isn't at all common but yet about four or five myspace/twitter pages came up and they were all slutty (and had nothing to do with me - just other "name twins" who liked playboy, pornography, drugs, etc). Should I be concerned that a handful of people with my same name are going to confuse potential employer's into believing that I am one of these people?
