Your Blog is a Reflection of You

Many organizations are looking at social networks before hiring new employees. Adam Darowski alerts his blog readers that your blog is a great way to network. It allows for future employees to expand on the type of personality they have and show how they are a great fit for a certain company. It is a great help to both the employers and those searching for a job to find the right fit. Joshua Porter agrees with Darowski. His blog breaks down Darowski's idea in a simpler way.
Porter breaks up each idea into bullet points. He then goes into detail for each point. This is extremely helpful to see how to build your online resume.

It makes sense that your blog reflects you, and how you have changed since the start of your blog; however, that means there is a lot of pressure to perfect everything you post. It is weird to think that what I am writing right now could someday be looked at by a future employer at my dream job.

It almost isn't fair to place this much weight on a blog because it hurts people who would rather solve math problems than write frequently about anything they can. Resumes and cover letters are stressful enough without worrying about our personal lives being judged.
