The Blog is the New Resume

The Blog is the New Resume - I’ve seen a few posts like this one lately, and I couldn’t agree more!  Resumes are usually simple one or two page summaries of your life experience, where a blog shows your ability to communicate, engage and reveal your passion.

In fact my last three opportunities have come directly from this blog and I was amazed at how much the potential employer/client knew about me from my blog.  If you’re looking for work or for new and exciting opportunities, I would highly recommend blogging - even if it doesn’t help you land a job, it will certainly help you build a great network and you’ll have fun doing it!

    Can all types of blogs work? The one I’m running at http://www.askapache.com/ is currently faceless.. isn’t there some danger to losing your anonymity? Or is it the opposite…
