I was introduced to a fun new tool today (thanks @mParkerByrd). The site is called WhatDoesTheInternetThink.net. Basically, you can use the site to get an idea of what people on the internet think of a certain topic. I thought it would be fun to do a little comparison.

I started by searching for bacon. You can see from the picture below that most internet users have a positive opinion of bacon.

I then thought it might be fun to see how dentists rank. Everyone hates the dentist, right?

Then I checked to see what the internet had to say about recruiters. Surely recruiters are more popular than dentists! WRONG!

I knew recruiters weren’t highly regarded by most candidates but I didn’t think we were less popular than dentists.
