Re: Experienced ASP.NET Developer in Minneapolis

Sorry to post to all . . . but I just can't pass this up.  My name is
Grant Killian, and by googling my name the first result is:
http://dotnetjunkies.com/weblog/grant.killian

This seesm fine.

The sixth result, however, is:=20
http://www.killiangrant.com

The coincidences are disturbing.  Apparently both Killian Grant and
Grant Killian[myself] grew up in Wheat Ridge, Colorado and we both work
in IT.  No offense intended to Killian Grant, but I would hate for a
potential employer to mistake me for this person based on a google
search -- make sure you are reviewing information on your candidate and
not just somebody with a similar name!

its nothing really, just searching the web for name, email address,
etc... I
use this if get a resume that claims to be very high level.  i got one a
few
days ago from someone teaching asp.net classes to college students. I
found
some info about this person on the web regarding a recent project they
worked on, which told me their true experiences and i immediately set
this
in my "review as a last resort" pile.
