If you are applying for positions related to what you blog about, it is acceptable to put these blogs on your resume. However, resumes are still important- it’s a simple summary of the individual, whereas a blog can go on and on without ever defining the individual.

I like your list of points to look at if one wants to have a blog be part of a resume. I would although point you in the direction of another issue, i would rather say that a blog made with your point taken into account would be proof to the headhunter/recruiter that the Resume/CV you have sent with your application is right and you are the one to pretend to be…..

Nice article.. :-)

Thank you for sharing these tips. Blogs would never replace resumes/CVs, but it could help your employer get to know you better. Juts be careful with the things that you post.

It is also very important in this economy to write a really effective resume. Because of the competition, it’s more important than ever to present who you are and market yourself with as few words as possible and more important that your resume speak to who you are wanting to be as well as what you’ve done in the past.

Let it become part of the conversation.”

Very good point. I do appreciate the sharing the knowledge and expertise to your audience. But claiming yourself to be an expert outrageously is a different story.

Use all the tools, Blogging, resume, social networks, professional profile, CV etc… all of these can be tied togehter in one location at http://www.pzhone.com . The most important part about using any of these methods is to keep it professional at all times and make sure any duplicate names are cleaned up to avoid confusion.

Actually, i would agree with some commentator here is to read their cv, rather than their blog. BTW, when you’re trying to assess the potential target based on the website/blogs, you have to have some kind of judgement to be able to sense the personal touch, personality and the unique of that blogger
