Have you tried to Google you own name yet? That is just the thing that an aspiring ad executive did back in 2009 – he bought the Google AdWords of the names of the top ad executives in New York City. When they “Googled” their own names, the result was a message: “Googling your name is fun – but what is more fun is leveraging the results for success. I can be reached here for a conversation.” He spent less than $10 to be recruited into a job that paid 6 figures – simply by being really creative.

Chris Kulbaba is an Employment Counselor with the London Employment Help Centre in London, ON. Chris regularly delivers webinars for Conestoga College in the CDP program, offers his services as an expert speaker, facilitator and coach on social media topics, and is creating a new career development tool “Career Card Sort” – but takes the greatest pride in being a dad and a loyal family man. You can find Chris on Twitter, LinkedIn, Skype, Facebook and at his new website/blog launching in January 2014 better-together.ca.
