Your online identity is crucial to your ability to succeed. Whether it be at work, in your relationships, or with your friends - if you have a poorly managed Internet identity you are in for trouble.
In fact, I read a statistic not too long ago that 64% of interviewers in Fortune 500 companies check Google before calling you back for an interview! Imagine if your online presence was their first impression of you… Would you get the job?
