Digital Dirt

Digital Dirt refers to the personal information you include online about yourself. Digital Dirt includes photos, blogs, discussion boards, chat rooms, group memberships, music and links. Digital Dirt may be deemed inappropriate by a recruiter based on their corporate or academic culture. Your online information is available to anyone with an internet connection, anywhere around the world. If you've put it online, unprotected, it is viewable.

The majority of recruiters search for information using online search engines, including Google and Yahoo. However, the use of online social networking sites to collect information about candidates is increasing; these sites include Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, Zanga, Photobucket and LiveJournal.
Your information is of interest to employment recruiters, law school admissions personnel, graduate school admissions personnel and scholarships/awards selection committees.
