Ten Reasons Why Blogging is Good For Your Career.
"Let’s assume that you’re reasonably competent, reasonably coherent, and reasonably mature." Oh dear.
Posted to Blogs by Simon Brunning at March 09, 2005 01:54 PMJust wondering if I'd mention my blog in a job interview.
I'd be worried people who didn't get it might fear that I'd give away company secrets or something equally stupid (then again, would I want to work for them then?).
If you already have a blog, you can tell them about it, and they can see for themselves that you don't divulge company or client information. (You'll notice, for instance, that my company, my clients, and my colleagues are never named in this blog.)
If they are so stupid as to worry about the kind of thing that you might mention on your blog without bothering to visit it, then no, you don't want to work for them. ;-)

I'm hoping that my blog (well one of them) will help me get a job because frankly I need all of the help I can get.
