After reading an article from the DesMoinesRegister.com sight, "Look smart with web resources; Realize who is looking for you online," I thought that it should be pretty obvious to students & job seekers that they should use at least a halfway intelligent email address for their resumes. I have seen some pretty goofy email addresses from students at the college where I work, but I figured that they were using more dignified accounts for career purposes. I guess that I was wrong.
As was suggested in the article, I decided to "Google" myself . Now I am really depressed. It seems that a woman with my same name tortured her kids and murdered two of them. Her name and information about her comprised all but one entry on the first page of the search. It was ironic that the other woman listed on the page was a nun who had converted to Roman Catholicism from being a Jew. She and her sister were eventually detained and murdered by the Nazis.
I found myself on the bottom of the second page of the search. Of course it was work related, but at least it wasn't anything that would embarrass me. Of course how bad could it have looked after reading about the abusive, murdering mother with my name?
