I just had to share a fantastic post called “The Silent Interview” by Michael Dragone , where he reminds us that “that during every step of the recruitment process there is always a silent interview being conducted.” Employers will look at MySpace, LinkedIn and ZoomInfo. He makes some great points that we may be overlooking and the only thing I would like to add is that for those of you who have not done this already, it is worth not only googling your name, but also doing quite an exhaustive online search for yourself so you are aware of what potential employees are finding out about you. Skeletons may stay in closets but they don’t fare so well on the internet!
