Blogging and Job Hunting

Yoav has posted on his blogsite a reference to Ivan Tribble's article on the detrimental effects of blogging have on job hunting.

I agree with Ivan's arguments to the extent that every blogger should be tactful and blog with the notion that his/her thoughts are now in public domain. However, I see that blogging is still a good way of maintaining an online presence. Regardless of audiences, search committee or job recruiter notwithstanding, a blog is still a good medium to gain insights to someone's thoughts, personality, and wit. So potential employer, read this blog to your heart's content. ;-)

Well, of course just ranting is no good PR.

But I cannot really see why writing about US or
any other politics would be bad? I think everyone
is entitled to have some political views, and
most of the time one's political views have nothing
to do with one's performance in any job. I have
worked with libertarians and communists and
everyone between. I have not seen any difference
in the way they do their jobs.

Then again, I may well not get any job in this country.
I seem to be too extreme....
