There is a new start-up called BrandYourself that allows you to effectively manage your online reputation by approving or disapproving of the links that show up on the first page when someone Googles your name. You can create a profile and also submit links that you want to boost and show up on the first page.

I do love it and think it’s a great tool that everyone should use.  In this day and age you really have to know what is showing up when you Google yourself.  I spend a large part of my day doing research and looking for potential candidates and you can bet I’m looking at everything.  You never know who is checking out your digital footprint and Brand Yourself is a tool that will help you put your best foot forward.   You should check it out.  Let me know what you think.

UPDATE:
After signing up for my BrandYourself profile I received an email from Trevor my new personal  search engine rep giving me an email and direct # to call if I needed help or any questions.  A real live person who I’ve emailed back and forth with a couple of times now.  Great customer service and I’m impressed.

Happy Job Hunting!

Words have power, so forget what you heard about sticks and stones. Mercury retrogrades back through your communication sector until April 4, giving your verbal expressions an extra punch. One snarky comment could burn an important bridge. Be careful not to put negative commentary in writing. Your emails could travel to an unwanted audience, putting you in the hotseat. When in doubt, rewind and be kind.

Here’s the press release for all the details.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – March 13th 2012

TORONTO, ON – Actress Kristin Fairlie has launched her first pop up shop for her online
clothing store Hate and Heartbreak. Hate and Heartbreak is a collection of lovingly curated
clothing, selected from film sets and wardrobe set sales across Canada and including Los
Angeles, New York and London. Each item is the only one of its kind available at Hate and
Heartbreak, which means the pieces are as unique as the shopper. “Hate and Heartbreak is
about what comes after,” Kristin explains. “You pick up the pieces, you buy that new dress
or jacket or whatever and you get back out there, and that’s what we want to represent. We
support the choice to move forward stronger than before.”

A Toronto native, Kristin spends her time between Toronto and Los Angeles, and
has graced screens big and small for the past 20 years. A Young Artist of Hollywood Award
winner at the age of 15 for her film The Sweetest Gift, Kristin has appeared in films and
television series including the award winning feature comedy You Might as Well Live, Instant
Star, Flashpoint, Metropia, Train 48 and Road to Avonlea. She is well known as the voice of
Little Bear on the Internationally loved children’s cartoon Little Bear, and also as the voice
of Bridgette on Teletoon’s hit series Total Drama Island. Most recently Kristin completed the
Julia Roberts-produced film Jesus Henry Christ, and appeared in a cameo role in the indie
film Moon Point.

Hate and Heartbreak’s pop up shop is from March 15th to April 15th and is located at
553 Queen st. West inside Brava Couture in the heart of the Fashion District. You can follow
