You can use this to connect with others in your industry, its a great resource. On the otherhand, students should be aware that one of the first things that comes up when you search for a name is their facebook profile. If they have content on there that they don't want prospective employers to see they should consider changing their profile settings so that it isn't visible to everyone.

I especially liked the closing Tips for the mainstream social networks. As a reputation manager for various "embattled" clients, the consensus is that they wish that they had a strategy before going in to social media. Students, especially, should have a strategy - especially this young in their 'online life' which is accumulating results for their name from the moment they make their first comment or share any web content. Students need to be aware of the search egnine spider that will find that late night drunken video they posted on MySpace or even that threatening comment they left on an ex's profile page. On the other side of the coin, that same search engine spider will find the award they received and the news article that was published about their successes. By owning their name as a domain name and having a personal blog linked to their social networking accounts, it provides a place to collect all of these accolades and documented experiences for a more focused dissemination of information about them to not only prospective employers, but to the entire world wide web. Exercise: Do a Google search for your name. Explore the results. Now for fun, do a Google search for your name with relevant additions to the search query. Examples: John Doe 555-555-5555, John Doe 123 AnywhereRoad, John Doe employed, etc.. Still having fun? Excellent post. I especially liked the closing Tips for the mainstream social networks.

I know that at my college - Syracuse University - one of my professors was just promoted to head social media strategist for our iSchool. The use of social media is a great way to connect with parents and alumni to help keep them connected and up to date on what is going on. On the student and employment side, more employers are searching for potential candidates online to help weed out potential candidates. The majority of students are NOT using social media - besides Facbook - properly and are hurting their chances of being hired. A Google search for your name is a supplement to your resume to help differentiate yourself from the masses. More and more colleges are starting to use social media to connect on every level.
