Googling people before you meet them
Thursday, August 28, 2008
It's interesting to talk to people about the things they do in order to prepare for a meeting with someone they haven't met before or know very well.
A key step for a lot of people, including myself, is to do a Google search on that person to see what interesting facts you can dig up.
In recently joining the blogosphere, I thought it overdue to checkout what embarrassing stuff might be out there with my name on it. More importantly, what information is out there about me, that would assist a person prior to a meeting with me ?
Aside from the hundred's of wannabe social networking sites trying to sell me a profile, nothing scary popped up in my search. You would discover:
- I live in Sydney;
- I work at Adobe;
- I commented on a Fast Company article in 2001;
- I have spent the last 5 years in a variety of channel sales roles;
- my colleagues include Mark Szulc & Nick Hodge; and
- I have presented at a number of events related to SAP, including the SAP Australia User Group and Mastering SAP HR & Payroll.
