I have considered buying up the domains associated with my daughters names so that if the time comes it is there for them to use professionally.

She was talking about asking administrators if they “Googled” people before hiring them as part of their background check. Most of the people she asked said that they in fact did. Sheryl went on to ask them:
If it’s true that you’re going to Google people and it’s going to impact your decision to hire or not hire… then what are you doing to prepare your students to be Googled?
What are you doing to make sure that they’re “clickable”? … This is going to become more and more important. If you’re not helping them to connect, if you’re not helping them to create, if you’re not helping them to be producers of knowledge rather than consumers of knowledge… then you’re not preparing them for that vita that they’re going to need, for that résumé that they’re going to need in order to be hired in the future.
If employers are using Google to validate or reference-check people, what impression does it give when the search comes back empty? Is that a good thing? Is it a bad thing?
