I specifically agree with "Your blog is an archive." Nothing holds your info quite like a blog, anytime, anywhere, your info is reachable, however. As with a few people on this post, I entered the job market before the web/email and I have never lost the idea of having a physical business card to present, or receive for that matter! If it's the ability to showcase your skills, education, and so on... I found this online site that pretty does it all. I hope you don't mind me posting this link: http://www.thumbnailresume.com/ I actually ordered some cards and so far they seem to be working. Thanks again! Great post. -Andrew Hi All,

However, would not agree to just Blog = Resume concept. I would agree if you had said that the blog equals the resume, cover letter, screening interview all together.

Getting an interview, even if you have an awesome blog, isn’t going to guarantee employment because you still have to go through the interview & vetting process (not a culture fit, etc.) I also find that blogging is a great networking tool. I’ve *met* a lot of people in my occupation solely via blogging & commenting on their blogs. And I should clarify something…

But blogs just like any other webpage can have a down side and play a negative role and allow job seekers to be discriminated on based on what they blog about. If employers begin to request blogs then it would allow all job seekers a fair chance vs. those who do not blog. I see it from both sides and I don't see it being a bad idea, but the reality is everyone will not jump on the bandwagon therfore it would not be fair to other qualified job seekers.

It will have my resume on there (biography section), but mainly it contains blog posts about my passion - internet marketing. That way prospective employees can read and see what I love and am doing. http://www.rich-page.com I am just starting to do this too – have a blog that ‘sells’ me.

My blog had been up about 2 months (with a blurb about looking for a new job on my about page) when an employer e-mailed me about a job. The "interview" consisted essentially in a description of the job and asking if I wanted it. Now granted, it's a writing job, so what else are they going to base my performance except my writing (blog)? But I can guarantee there would have been no job offer without the blog.
