At this amazingly large job fair at the Cashman Center off of Las Vegas Boulevard, companies and candidates vie for a little bit of each others time.

90 percent of the companies here no longer accept the “hand to hand” resume and rather encourage job fair participants to apply on line.  In fact, being “googled” is common practice according to many of the HR specialist and directors at yesterday’s fair.

Generation Y is the first to feel the “sting” of digital dirt.  What is really out there about you on the web?  Every week google yourself and look not only at the website - look at the images, too.

Is your college frat party photos online?  What about that cute, risque picture of you on myspace- is it the first to appear?  How about those silly family photos from the latest family reunion?

If you’re looking to upgrade your position or change careers or desire to be a person with impactful influence, take time to clean up any digital dirt about you.

First, take some time and be aware of what’s out there.

Second, post, post, post on blogs, book reviews, articles - to move those “dirty” things down.

Third, create a great profile on LinkedIn, Ecademy, Naymze, Facebook, My5MinuteNetworking –these social sites are well searched and will help also water down the dirt.
