We have heard of blogging for business – God know I have written about it enough times! but what about blogging for employment?

The Boston Globe has a piece today about how having a blog can help you land a job. They contend that because blogs come up high in Google searches:

• Blogging creates a network
• Blogs set you up as an expert in your field and
• Blogs give you a leg up when you meet someone new (i.e. your potential employer)

Hmmm – while I can’t disagree with any of the points, I haven’t exactly been flooded with job offers since I started blogging – in fact, I haven’t received a single job offer. Any day now!!

I see Shel Israel has looked at the other side of the equation on his blog – employers using recruitment blogs to attract new hires.
