Can my music prevent me from getting a job? - Chris - 05-18-2014 03:40 AM

I have several music profiles to help promote my music. Let's just say a lot of the lyrics aren't exactly family friendly. Could this hurt me if I were trying to get an important job? Would this be bad news for me if anyone who performed a background check?
I'm working on a bachelor's degree in Finance and have considered things such as Financial Advisor or Treasurer for my future career. Nice try, smartass. (Talking to Silly Goose)

Real important jobs are for people with real important degrees.
Don't worry about this.

Google your name, exactly the way it appears on your resume or you would put it on a job application.

If those profiles (or anything else risque or inappropriate) don't come up in the first several pages of results, I wouldn't worry about it.

You may want to have someone you are NOT connected to (i.e., friends with) do a similar search on Facebook.
