So I know a girl who applied a few cycles ago (we worked together on a research project). She had an alcohol-related offense on her record, which she disclosed on her application and talked about how she had matured since then. An interviewer confronted her on the topic and, after she'd dug herself a nice hole, showed her the (recent) pictures he found of her on Facebook with EtOH in her hand. You probably can guess the rest of the story. QUOTE]
That just seems stupid to post things on your myspace page that can be so damaging. I know that most schools will tell you to make sure any pages like myspace and facebook should be kept clean. When I went to school for teaching, the head of the ed dept. told EVERYONE to delete their myspace pages immediately because employers as well as cooperating teachers may google or use another search engine to get information on you as a person. I would imagine that some med. schools or employers may do the same depending on the school.
Anyway, I am sure as long as you have a reasoning behind what happened or a way to shine a better light on yourself, you should be fine. Since it was so long ago, maybe there are ways to plug volunteering and such to show how much you have changed/ matured, if necessary. You won't really know until you apply. Good Luck!!
Your request does nothing!* Google robots just laugh and continue to parse the digital world as they deem fit.I'm pretty sure you can request that google remove specific sites from showing up when googling your name.
Easy solution for facebook, either make your profile blocked, so they can only see that little picture of you, or you can make your profile unsearchable.
that's funny... a few years ago, i had a small accident... it was a fender bender. Either way, it was my fault, and I got the ticket. Turns out that it's not a regular ticket since there was an accident, which means that I can't just send a check in the mail, I would have to go to court.
So, I go to court, and tell the judge what happened and that I'm guilty, and that i'd like to pay my ticket. He says cool, but you'd have to come again to court to prove that the lady you hit was fully compensated. I told him that the lady was ALREADY compensated as we're speaking. I even offered to call her in front of him. I had already missed a day of class for this crap, and I didn't one to miss another one.
He didn't let me call the lady in front of him. I told him that his court system is the most inefficient system I have ever seen in my life (I still can't believe I said that or that he didn't find me in "contempt"). He yelled at me and told me to shutup and sit down, which I did. After he scheduled the next court date for me, as I was leaving, there were a bunch of reporters sitting in the back recording everything.
Next day, I open the paper, flip a few pages, and there I was, standing in front of the judge. The article's title was "college student frustrated with the new traffic system" (it was a new law that required you to come to court twice if you're involved in an accident and it's your fault).
Now, every time you google my name, the VERY first website you get is a link to that article! haha
dam, that was long... sorry, i was bored...
