Blogging Your Way to a Job

Mar 1

Who would you hire, someone who says they can write, or someone who has demonstrated their writing skills? An article on Innovation Zen titled Are Blogs the New Resumes? says “[B]loggers certainly have an edge over job seekers that do not publish one.”

People can certainly find out about me. I’ve written 1,996 posts on my personal blog (no, I’m not kidding, I have written almost two thousand articles in two-and-a-half years), plus I’ve written over 250 articles here on KnowHR blog in 181 days. If you’re a regular reader, you probably know that I’m not a big fan of traditional performance reviews, I’m totally captivated by innovative technology, and I can’t get enough of watching great presenters do their thing.

Heck, you can find out more about me than I could write in 20 resumes by just looking at About the Authors on this site. I don’t need a resume anymore, I’m exactly where I want to be. But if I did need one, I’d probably provide a link or two. Le blog, c’est moi.
