When I google myself, it all looks good except a video that is posted on a past employer’s Youtube account, of me doing karaoke. This is the company’s Youtube account. Does this look bad? I honestly don’t know. Of course, the karaoke is terrible.

If it makes you feel better, most people's karaoke is terrible :)

To answer your question, no I don't think it looks bad. If that was the only result it would be different. I wouldn't stress about it.

I'd think it would make you look fun, down to earth, interesting and the type of person who shows up at corporate events and supports the company. All good things. It's good to come across as someone who people can have a good time with and who doesn't take themselves so seriously!

Maybe ask your company to put in the description a link to your github or something... some clever line like, "when GT isn't singing the house down in boots he also codes up a storm doing blah... (link to your awesome work here)."

That is my hope. This was a job I had before software... in an industry that would share karaoke videos of it’s employees on the media title’s youtube page, but I would like to think it still works that way.
