Chapter 2 of the book, What Color is Your Parachute?, speaks to our presence online. Google can, in a lot of ways, be considered the truest form of a resume. Social media has increased our presence online. In many cases an individual might have 3 social medias. This means that there are three web links that can lead to a page that tells the world about that individual. On the other hand, a person might have been mentioned in an article or a post.
The book instructs the readers to google themselves and assess what their e-image looks like. I did this and found that my real name "Evan Berg" comes up with no results regarding me. Then I googled "Rudy Berg", I found my Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and my athlete profile for lacrosse. I do not think that these are bad things for people to see. However, it is disappointing that my LinkedIn does not appear when I google "Evan Beer". I think I need to fill in more information and add connections in order to improve the visits to this page.
