Getting a Job Because of a Blog
We talk a bit about people getting fired because of blogging. Here’s a nice contrast: people getting hired because of blogging.
This Globe and Mail article discusses how companies might use someone’s blog to influence their hiring decision and interviews some human resources people and bloggers who got jobs because of their hobbies. A list gives ways a blogger can use the medium to make her-/himself a better candidate.
The article begins with the story of how Joey deVilla got a job because of his blog.
Incidentally, I saw the link to this article on his blog.
Addendum 11/12: Mic, er, The guy who operates under the anonymous front The Dowbrigade makes an excellent point in his response to this post.
