Somewhat off-topic here, but an interesting thread. It is being argued that blogs are a valuable way to augment resumes: Are blogs the new resumes?
Imagine you are a prospective employer, and you can compare two identical candidates. The first candidate has simply handed you a 2 page resume + 1 page cover letter. The second candidate has done the same, but they have also included a link to their blog. Now, further imagine that although the blog gives a more detailed picture, it does not change your opinion of the second candidate.Which candidate would you choose? My guess is that you would choose the blogger simply because they are a known quantity.
With more physicians, nurses, and hospital CEOs blogging, will it eventually be harmful professionally not to have a blog? (via Business Filter)
