You are right that Google Alerts are a great way of keeping up-to-date on your industry, but you also need to create Google Alerts from the perspective of a potential employer. In the old days, it used to be good advice to always keep your resume current. Now we have Facebook for that. The new goal is to stay current with the Google results for every name and fact on your resume. You should review your resume, and set up alerts on any reference, company name, and all the other easily searched facts, such as your phone number and address. Doing thorough Google research is now a standard part of a pre-hiring background check. You want to know what will be found, and possibly remove names that may have misleading or negative search results. I’ve written a lot about this subject for my blog, and your readers might find some of my posts useful:
