This week thing is to 'google yourself' to see how many results you can find.
On google I conducted the search for Rachel Garbett and I found 1 result on page four that referred to me. The link was for a website that gave details of a First Click course that I was contact for in Wellington Library. That had by this time had been run. This was put on this site by the BBC First Click team.
Due to the low numbers of results that I found I conducted another search using the term 'Rachel Garbett Bridgnorth' which is where I live. In this I found 3 results the first was on 192.com which mention my address details that referred to the electoral register up to 2009. The second and third results were concerning the church I attend one was on their facebook page where I commented on a photograph, the next time was as a member of one of the deacons family.
I then conducted a third search using the term Rachel Sarah Garbett, on this I found on result that referred to my qualification I gained at Cardiff University.
I do have a Facebook account but this did not show on any of the results, all the ones I found were for other Rachel Garbett's.
The things that I have found by googling myself are thing that I would want people to find out about me. There was nothing I found that would be embarrassing for me.
Looking at these results it would be hard to find out about me online for both professionally and personally.
This is why doing this cpd course will help me to know about other online service I can use to promote myself.
