With a bad blog do not hire
Professional recruiters and headhunters have long used the Internet to search for suitable employees. Now the blogosphere has come to the sight of even ordinary recruitment managers. An employee in the middle office can easily check your blog before being invited to work. This practice is becoming the standard. This is understandable, because the blog allows you to find out all about the candidate: his intelligence, literacy, education, communication skills and other social qualities.
For example, in America even the manager of a regular store scans blogs of candidates before being hired. And he is not the only one. Moreover, now there are specialized Internet headhunters who are engaged in the study of the blogosphere. Basically, such headhunters are looking for candidates in the field of IT and media, since these characters have almost 100% of their own blogs.
Quite often there are situations where the future employer (or employee of the personnel department) is a reader of a blog. Naturally, he is well aware of the identity of the author, and when a corresponding vacancy appears he will be only too happy to invite him to work. The WSJ article provides several such examples.
Recruiters differ on whether a blogger should write directly in his profile that he needs a job. There is an opinion that this may scare a potential employer, as the girl is frightened by a guy who wants her too much on her first date.

Experts say to people who do not want to start a blog: you will still be “google”, so if you want, you will definitely have a file on you. What information it will contain is completely independent of you. What will find - they will find. But if you start your blog, it will be the first place where the interested person looks. This is the information you control. Therefore, to start a blog - for your own purposes, if you do not want information about you to be collected throughout the web. Consider that in our time not a single serious matter is being done with a person until he is “struck on Yandex.”
