Reposting because I was getting some bigoted downvotes in another sub. :( But I'm looking for a job and also have a blog - Would a potential employer Google me? Would my blog hurt me?
I'm currently getting my master's degree in sports management and my goal is to highlight the impact of inclusive fitness and wellness spaces on LGBT+ youth participation (tldr; American kids already don't get enough exercise and queer kids suffer from this at significantly higher rates. I'd like to help change that). Because of this, I also want to be influential in my community by helping to upgrade, maintain, and install new greenspaces and recreation facilities to break down barriers to physical activity, so I'm using that as a starting point in my career change by looking into parks and rec jobs.
A few weeks ago, I started a blog to talk about issues that I care about so my passion for equality and equity has somewhere to go. While none of it *should* be controversial, I mainly talk about misogynoir, Black and LGBT+ history, and gender parity in sports. My first name and photo are on my blog and I'm wondering if I should take them down while I look for employment. Maybe even take them down permanently? I don't know if employers Google your name and if they do, what they're looking for. It's just a simple layout change and I don't mind doing it, but I was curious if it's worth doing at all.
