Seen on a forum:
I just heard something interesting on the news and I'd like to toss it out to the community for your thoughts....Forget resumes, job boards, cold calling and even going to the company. The "BIG THING" is Blogging for a Job.
It seems that many recrutiers find YOU by reading your blog.
If this is the way to go, how do you get one started? What do you put into it??
YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

Dude, you are so fab...you are going to need a personal assistant soon. You know, someone to handle the press, paparazzi, your fan club members...

Maybe you should give some how-to classes on the subject :)

Headhunters get either a flat fee, or a percentage of the first years earnings, so you need to copywright your "Hire Thru Blogs" procedure, and just sit back and rake in the dough. Almost as easy as being a preacher, but much less nauseating.
Like Dire Straits said: That ain't working,that's the way to do it. Money for nuthin' and chicks for free!

ps: Zuska - "Chicks for free" Is a song quote. This is in NO WAY close to my ideas, thoughts, dreams, or all past or future actions relating to women.
No women were actually harmed in the making of this post.
