I must agree, and state that there’s a series of important concerns here. I’m going to comment on one of them. The fact of being open in a blog, and sharing your information. My idea about being open is, we should all make it a principle when launching our pursuits for employment, either through a blog or resume. I mean, ask yourself this question. Suppose you submit a resume, or an employer reads your anonymous, or false data entailed in a blog, and he/she wants to hire you for a position, you initially did’nt believe you were qualified for, based on the information provided. Then you take the job. Months later, the company just happened to be doing some verification processing to update the information as entailed on your resume, and they start calling your alledged previous employers, and become informed of something totally inconsistant with the details on your resume. Imagine yourself all settled into your career after a few months, and you get called to Human Resources, and it’s revealed that since you were’nt initially honest about something in your blog, or resume, the company feels that this is some kind of breach to their policies, and subsequently you lose a job you really like. How would this make you feel? Being honest in the beginning, and being open, renders the impression that you have nothing to hide, and it gives an up front approach of straight-forwardness in regards to your character, which serves as a good occupational reputation to have in the long run. In light of the many fraudulent practices, which dissuade us from revealing our identities, omitting, and or altering information from that of the truth via a blog, or resume, the best practice in this case scenario is to be straight up about everything. You’ll reap good rewards. Career Consultant http://www.genevasonmedia.com

Using a blog to share careers information for prospective employers(or even to show off!) is here to stay, as to whether it is effective with the gazillions of slogs on the web now – who knows? But at the end of the day its just another way to get yourself noticed by the right person – is it neccessary to have a blog to enhance your career prospects? No, its not for everyone, but it sure can help:-)

[...] There are so many issues on the table here I am not going to try and address all of them! The Marketing Headhunter answers some of these by saying your blog is NOT your resume! Which is true but it is part of you and a part that hiring managers need to be aware of, even if the results are not so good for you. 2 months ago Robert provided us his thoughts on if blogging was good for his career. But just because it is good for him does not mean it will be good for you. My take. [...]
