One of the best ways to control your first-page Google hits is to register a domain name under your own name. If yours isn’t available, try adding your middle name as well. For example, mine is michaelkellysutton.com.
Once you’ve registered your personal web page, you need to decide where to redirect it. It might be a little expensive to get buy hosting for this site if you’re not going to do anything with it. Here are a few ideas on where to redirect your resume site:
- Your LinkedIn profile
- Your blog
- Your Facebook/MySpace profile (be carefule about this one)
- a random lolcatz website
or
So hop over to GoDaddy and register yourself.
