Just a mini-hijack.

To be honest, I think professors telling their classes this is a little extreme. I also heard this a lot in college, and I followed this rule and blocked my facebook pics when I was applying for jobs, but left webshots up and you can easily find pics on there when you google my name. Now, having worked for 3 companies in the HR/recruiting field, I have never once googled somebody. Nor do I know of any people in the same industry who have done this. I'm sure some employers do, but it doesn't seem to be the big deal that everyone makes it out to be.
I will agree with you on the email address though, and same goes for voicemail. I've seen so many applications and resumes with "sexiigurl2005" or REALLY risque ones. As far as voicemails- atleast change it to slightly more professional, you don't have to go overboard. I just hate hearing music blaring, a lot of slang terms, or especially horrible ringbacks.
Back to DCC, I'm surprised Leah was cut. It seemed like they really only picked on her that one night, then she was done. I'm glad Alyssa is still in the running, she's my favorite rookie!
