How to Blog Your Way Into a Job

The concept is simple -- keep track of industry trends and post a few sentences three to four times a week with your own take on what's happening. It makes you look like an expert in your field and is likely to impress potential employers when your resume lands on their hiring managers' desks. It's also incredibly easy to start one -- hop on WordPress.com or Blogger.com and sign up for a free account.
Try to use your own name in your blog's title -- it will prove useful when recruiters Google your name -- and be sure to link to other sites within your blog -- it strengthens your search rankings. In addition, Forbes has a few more guidelines for you to think about before soaring all willy-nilly into the blogosphere. Click 'Next' to check them out. [From: Forbes]

I'm Cecil Jones. I'm unemployed and probably the top political advisor in America bar none. I led the drive to impeach President Clinton using poetry. I shared my political intellectual property with Al Gore in 2000 and we made history. I practically hand picked the Kerry-Edwards Ticket in 2004 using a "Baseball Analogy." I'm the person at the bottom of all the political bickering in Washington. In fact, if you are reading this blog and you like it or you laugh, then how about a job interview or a check so I can pay my bills and keep my family happy? Have I done enough to "Blog My Way In?" Check out my "Tweets" on "Twitter." I'm Bacodebus.

Every now and then I return to see what happened and I can see why "Blogging" isn't the greatest job in the world. I'm still doing it and still unemployed. Who in the world would hire me? I've attacked just about everyone on the face of the Earth who is famous or in politics. I'd love to go to work using my creativity and my mind, but after doing all I've done- that's enough. I'm laughing and leaving a legacy on Twitter and the Citizen's Journal. Google me too. If it's controversial, then you know it's me.
