Why you should ALWAYS Google potential employees before hiring them

Meet our new intern, Jeremy Lindblom:
Now, we always Facebook and MySpace (which I refuse to link to) search anyone we’re considering hiring. But for some reason, a proper Google search completely escaped my mind. Until now.
I’m just saying that we could’ve made his first day (nay, even just the *interview*) considerably more fun (for us) if we, say, dressed as Goombas or other Mario arch-nemeses.
It should be totally obvious by now that you need to be fully aware of your social networking identity, as your potential hires, clients, inamorata and life partners can, will and SHOULD do at the very least a cursory background check by making sure there’s nothing absolutely terrifying or bizarre about your personality before, well, getting into bed with you. Or, in this case, a useful source of mockery for the next three months.

Tuesday morning cannot come soon enough…

So when I was in the courtyard the other day eating those mushrooms I found, and Jeremy came by, and grew to like 8ft tall, and bounced off of flying turtles into the sky, that was real?
Wonders never cease.

I am proud to have this video on my Google results. The best part is that I actually married that princess. Woo hoo!
