Of the 'Google excuse" for intrusive calls


Today, I've been called by an IT company for a job opportunity. The woman said they found me by entering 'CV' (french word for resume) in Google search engine.

Hey, I am in the Google for my eResume ! Or am I such a gurru to have a good page rank on this eResume. After a quick double check on my own computer, I saw she was obviously lying. This has been confirmed as soon as she mentionned my last job in 2003 !

Today Google is intrusive, we all know it. However is it starting to be an excuse for people with no answer to a basic question : how do you know me ? Ok, google is an entry point for most of Internet search today, but think please, think by yourself : how a french IT could be better known , or better noted that all the companies who are paying Google because they're sailing books about career search, hiring companies...

Did you already faced the "Google excuse" ?
More important : how do you track your old resume versions left on the web ?

PS : I will of course send here my eResume page
