I think using one's blog as part of assessment for a job can potentially be useful. But I think this depends on the industry you are seeking employment in and the subject matter of your blog.

Yeah that's right as many small scale companies have not considered it as a tool which can be used for employment procedure but I guess they will follow it when time comes and also the matter of the blog has to speak a persons mind which will definitely exclude blogs that are educative in theoretical terms.

Most of the blogs I tend to come across are not very useful in my opinion, they tends to fall into two categories: Make money blogs and personal blogs.

Now and again I come across very well written informative blogs but they are the exception rather than the rule.

I think there is a danger that some companies may view your blogg as a negative thing, especially if it is either a) not very good (as Temi says...) or b) likely to be time consuming.

They may worry that you will spend all your time at work blogging!

This is the way to go Stephanie, I started the other way round, now when I look back at some of the stuff I posted in the early days of my blogs I fell embarrassed, but I have convinced myself that no one will see the mistakes.

Thanks Temi, I am sure you are right that no one notices the old stuff too!
