Scobleizer — Tech geek blogger » Blog Archive If you are laid off, here’s how to socially network « January 15, 2009
Posted by Jonathan Hewett in : delicious links , trackbackAdvice on using social media to get work — Robert Scoble offers 19 points, starting with these three (more in comments, too):??"1. Your blog is your resume. You need one and it needs to have 100 posts on it about what you want to be known for.?
2. Remove all LOLCats from your blog.
?3. Remove all friends from your facebook and twitter accounts that will embarrass you. We do look. If we see photos of people getting drunk with you that is a bad sign. Get rid of them. They will NOT help you get a job."

While a blog maybe can act as a CV if you are looking for jobs in journalism, I don’t think this is necessarily the case in other professions. It’s important to remember that there are still only a small number of people who are blogging – and even fewer who have anything interesting to say and can say it in plain English.
