Blogging is arguably one of the greatest social marketing methods to surface today. Corporate America has certainly recognized its power and is on the forefront of using this communication tool to gain momentum for new products or consumer lines of business. A recent article in Investor’s Business Daily discusses the elements of blogging for business, and how useful a tool and it can be in the development of a brand or product.
Similarly, blogs can be helpful for individuals looking for a job because they aid in the creation and promotion of the brand most important to you - you! Employers are googling candidates more and more in the recruiting and hiring process so the more you promote your “brand,” the more visible you will be to prospective companies. Starting your own blog is relatively easy and painless - in fact, blogs can be set up in less than an hour! Once you are a working member of the blogsphere, you can begin to market yourself as an employee. Personal blogs can illustrate your knowledge and expertise within a certain field. And don’t forget about the all-important networking benefit.
Similar to popular networking sites like Linked-In, blogs allow you to build your network, communicate with potential employers, and reconnect with previous colleagues. The more you connect with others, the more likely one of them may point you in the right direction to finding a new employer.
I am curious to know how many Big Times readers have their own blog. What has been your experience, good and bad, with entering the blogsphere? Has anyone found a job through your own blog, or through blogging on other career or individuals’ blogs?

Amidst all the hoopla about the firing of eight US attorneys, (call them the Gonzales Eight), a possible congressional investigation and resulting constitutional crisis, I have a couple of practical questions: How will they explain getting fired on their resumes or during an interview? And who will the dismissed lawyers be able to use for job references?
In Monster’s Career Advice Community, explaining a dismissal and getting references afterwards are among the most frequent questions posted by ousted job seekers. Those issues were certainly on my mind when it happened to me. I was summoned to the company cofounder’s office and, with the HR lady looking on, was told I was “not working out,” and my services were no longer required.
My departure was not unexpected given the risks at a startup, but like the US attorneys, the “not working out” seemed a bit gratuitous — especially since the company soon laid off the bulk of the staff and shortly thereafter forced out the exec who fired me. He and I later agreed to be good references for each other, which brings me back to the original question — from whom will the Gonzales Eight get references? Will President Bush or Karl Rove vouch for them? We’ll have to see.
In the meantime, on behalf of unwilling job changers everywhere, here are some resources on how to handle getting the ax:
Plus, to help those out-of-work US attorneys explain their dismissal, vote for the best answer to the question: “Why did the US attorneys get fired?” and contribute your suggestions for other possible responses to the poll in the Office Politics message board.
