Job seekers can and should monitor their names using Google Alerts. Someone else with the same name who has done something shocking, unusual, or disreputable can negatively impact YOUR job search.
The vast majority of employers (79%!) do Google job applicants, and they won’t know if you are the person who robbed the bank or posed nude, but they probably won’t want to take a chance hiring that person. So, you will lose out, even if you were not the person who showed up in the Google search.
The best defense in this case is knowledge! Put Google to work for you and your job search!
