Am I really blogging for apples?
In case it hasn’t become completely apparent, I’ve been doing a lot of work lately on improving not only ShirtNinja.net’s layout but the content as well. It does have a lot to do with having more ‘free time’ on my hands and people not wanting me to spam them with random links and messages anymore, but it also has to do with my love of blogging and the thought of people reading it.
I’ve come across a few articles mentioning that blogging has become a new extension of a resume and I have to agree with them to some extent. Those who are hardcore into blogging and have a large audience are easily making a living off ads. But as for bloggers such as myself who have little to no audience I wouldn’t say this would prove to be much of a resume. It’s a fabulous concept though, and if I ever get into a position where I’m seen as anything more than a numbered customer service agent or retail clerk I’d like to think my writing abilities would count for something positive.
The articles discuss some of the characteristics that most bloggers possess that are often viewed as good qualities by employers. So if you’re a blogger and unable to fill up your resume, check out these articles.
