However, that is not what many are doing, and I can see the negatives. Tony, in my opinon, airing out personal stuff is best suited for a actual diary, not an online blog.

There were numerous cases of people getting in trouble (even fired from jobs) over postings on MySpace, Facebook, and blogs. Though if the ability to air out the issues will be... an issue. There's always an option of running a second, personal, blog under an alias and/or passworded entries. Indeed.

Makes it more difficult to air out issue on a weblog though, that can be messy at times. Agreed Tony, a supplement is the best way to describe how a blog contributes to the process.

They are kind of like a cover letter, but are read after the resume itself. A lot of employers would at least perform a Google search for candidate names, so if you don't rank well for your own name, better make it a more controlled research and add your link explicitly. @Jessie - it's a trick question. You're supposed to answer: "I use Facebook" ;) Blogs supplement, not replace resumes. They are kind of like a cover letter, but are read after the resume itself.
