Chapter two talks about how in today's world and with technology far more advanced, Google has essentially became the new "resume" for companies to look at when looking to hire future employees. Its funny to think about how several years ago employers looked at only the resume that the individual applying for the job created. The employer had to base his decision off of the resume and the interview. Now, they have people searching their social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media to see how the applicant is on a daily basis and away from work. This can benefit some applicants, but also really hurt the chances of being hired of other applicants.
I was happy that the chapter also had tips on how to build your "Google Resume". The four steps to helping you build your "Google Resume" are: Edit, Fill, Expand, and Add. Each step had a detailed explanation of what that meant and gave examples of how to do each step. Edit for example, consisted of getting rid of posts with bad grammar, inappropriate, or anything that would have the employer thinking "maybe this isn't the guy for us.".
