How do you get to know yourself?

Go ego surfing. Search the net for everything that exists about you. 75% of recruiters and selectors search the internet for their candidates and decline 25% based on what they find there. Use the SERM, Search Engine Reputation Management, to rectify matters. If necessary, ask for the Google Forget Me Form to remove compromising information. Adjust all the things you can adjust, in light of your application, undertaking, plan or love of your life.
