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

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

    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.

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

    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

    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!
