Going to do one on YOU and see if you will hire me as your assistant.

what kind of web development do you do?

I just tried creating this in adwords and it disallowed because the word "googling" is trademarked. How did you get around that?

[Alec Brownstein]

If you look closely, you'll see that I misspelled the word "Goooogling."

15+1 people cannot spell GENIUS correctly and will not be getting a job with google.

A lot of respect for you Alec, that was unreal, if only I can find a way to entice my dream employers. Genius idea marketing yourself in such an easy way.

People in the entertainment industry probably would (trying to see reviews/praise for recent work). Hell, even I've googled myself before starting job searching to make sure not shit is associated with me that I've posted online before.

[dird89]

I'm guessing you're not in the entertain industry where everyone loves themselves though

[rastafabui]

nice idea, but I really wonder how often do people actually google themselves. in my case I've done it maybe 2-3 times in 8 years

baloney



[TheVodKanockers]

They wouldnt Google themselves for ever maybe...

[Ying Ying Shi]

That's so creative. Such an act would impress anyone... :) If I were from HR, I would look for you even if the ad weren't directed to me. Thanks for sharing your experiment!
