“Blogs” - a new category in CVs

August 28th, 2007 by deedeecus

I was thinking the other day… with all this exponential growth of blogging and bloggers wouldn’t it be a logical step to include in the basic CV format the category BLOG?

Blog. Do you own a blog? If yes, do you own more than one blog?|
What is the style of your blog(s)?
Blog address(es): ….

I believe you can learn a hell lot from a blog about the person writing it, and if I were in the HR industry or simply in the position of hiring someone I would definitely ask this question. After all, I want to know as much as I can about the future employee.

Should this category or interview question be optional? Many have had problems at work because of their writing and , as a cheezy cheeky says, “there is no such thing as off the record”…  I’m sure bosses read their employees’ blogs. Or if they don’t, they should!

    Foarte buna idee. Si eu ma gandeam la asta cand imi completam CV-ul pe bestjobs.ro - unde as putea sa-mi trec blogul? Dar cred si ca ar trebui sa fie optional pt. ca unii nu vor sa se “dezvalui” intr-atat in fata unui posibil viitor angajator :)
