With more and more people having blogs, it is interesting how many employers are searching for employee blogs in order to find out more about them. Sure, your résumé is important, but the way you actually act online also shows a side of you to your employers.
Type your name in a search engine to find out what the internet says about you, since your future employer will do the same. I think in the very near future many employers, from both the online and offline fields, will give your blog more value than your résumé.
Future employers may ask for you blog instead of your résumé
Future employers will not only search for the way you blog but the way you interact with others through your blog. Do you help others online? Your employer will notice that. Do you use online people and leave them hanging? Your employer will notice that. Do you break the personal and business promises and deals you make with others through your blog? Your employers will notice that.
If you were an employer, it may seem more logical to find out about an employee by the way they actually behave online through their blog, compared to reading a résumé which may probably be a few self-advertising pages.
What do you think? Do you think one day your blog will define you more than your résumé in the eyes of an employer?
