Creating your own Personal Brand Website is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself and your personal brand. According to the Huffington Post, over 80% of employers Google search applicants before inviting them to an interview, and almost 50% of them have said they changed their mind based on what they found online. This is only trending upwards; this is just the beginning.
Most people scramble to simply change their Facebook name and remove their drunken photos, and while and this may be an effective hiding strategy, you need to ask yourself this question: you are competing for a position with tens, hundreds, or even thousands of other people. Do you really want to be hiding? This is your opportunity to stand out from the crowd.
