I think an online presence sets you apart from the job competition. However I do not think a complete resume is necessary. I think a page which contain a list your skills, your experiences/your portfolio would be sufficient.

You’ve got some great do’s and don’ts. There are some things that could be excluded. Too much stuff about your personal life gets under people’s skin. It’s like saying, “Yeah, I’m easy. I’ll tell you my life story for free.” But maybe nobody want to know at that moment. It seems a bit forward. But hey, that’s just an opinion and not everybody agrees.

One of the best practical and useful articles I have read in awhile. Highlighting a blog as a platform for a job search is powerful tool people need to know. A person can exponentially establish her/his self as an expert in your field by publishing articles on a blog. A blog can allow a person to more smoothly achieve a career transition by writing on topics on that new chosen career.

All the licenses, college degrees or board certifications achieved will not make a person an expert in their field, until s/he is published. A blog is the ticket to exemplify the statement “Who knows you is more important than who you know”. A blog draws people to you.

I think it is good to set yourself apart–but don’t over do it. Consider the job you are applying for, and how appropriate it is. Make sure you have your blogs well moderated…on your blog and consider what others are saying about you on other sites.

Regarding resumes, I got mine checked out at a site called perfect10resume.com for free. It was a good idea to get a second opinion from a professional. This is part of the updating process, making sure that there are no errors or typos. Also check out google docs as a way for distributing your resume–but just submitting a link. Hope this helps.
