Blogs are increasingly strong in the recruitment process, including networking and job search traditional channels. Good article, thanks

I agree with the previous comment. Again, it is very important, is not in the traditional sense (to present the book to continue the traditional mail), but must be innovative in the onward is from the perspective of employers. To print the employers have no blogs. Thanks for sharing this.

Well, not having email is something that would cross a company off of my list for certain.

Great discussion! Although there is no magic equation to getting a job, you can slant the playing field in your favor. Our audience consists of people and those individuals have various likes and dislikes. The recommendation is to take the guess work out of how to get noticed by doing a little bit of everything. On your blog, you want to highlight your strengths, both personal and professional. Your video resume, paper resume and cover letter are created specifically for the position you are actively competing for. Having a link from your resume back to your blog is a great way to expose your talents to your audience. Same with your social media profiles. Be careful not to post pictures or comments that are not appropriate. You only have one chance to make a great first impression!

Resumes are not so dead but if you have your blog you are also famous online. Just keep updating your blog.

Interesting point… I do wonder if working for a company that does not even have email is particularly attractive in 2009.

My car mechanic has email…

Yes, not only are resume’s req’d (especially for small companies) many do not even have email. (Could you FAX us your resume!)
Show yourself to be a blogger and they see it as “this loser is gonna waste his whole day on the computer.”

Whatever media suits you most…

That said, it’s a one-time shot vs. the long time track record of someone who regularly blogs..or tweets… or (fill in your favorite media).

I just wanted to say that I am in the middle of creating my own personal V-Blog, on my site (rather a podcast page) on of the ideas that was suggested to me is that I am very poor at conveying my skills an work ethics on paper, so it was suggested that I create a Video Resume, now I am quite positive that I would get a 50 / 50 rating with some people saying good things an some people not saying good things…

What would be your opinion on using a Blog to post a video resume?

I have to agree with with the comment above. Having a resume is very important, not in the traditional sense (sending paper resumes in the snail mail) but you must have an innovative resume to send out to perspective employers. Recruiters like to print out resumes not blogs.
