Blogging For Jobs
She got her job via her blog.
We keep hearing that people get jobs through their blogs but Gord knows these guys are hard to find. So here's one in case you are looking.
Her name is Rebecca Bollwitt. And, her blog is Miss604 (the area code in Vancouver).
"My current employer hired me, more or less, based on my blog and podcasts.... I’m pretty sure they knew exactly what they were getting." she says.
So do I. She has a "Girlie" section in her Flickr account (sample below). Which is interesting, as well. For, how many times have you heard that sexy pictures on MySpace will do you out of a job. Well, this girl's sexy and doesn't hide it. And she got a job. (And not as a "sex-worker" either).
Haha! Thanks for the mention

Gee whiz, wellwell. We are always hearing that job hunters should start blogs to get jobs. But I rarely hear of someone who got a job through a blog. They're a rare breed. So I'm noting one here.
And, yes, she's sexy and doesn't hide it. (Her Flickr widget is on her front page). And that's significant, too. Because another thing we hear constantly is that employers are going to knock you out of the running if they find the sexy pictures you put online.
But if you've read Rebecca's blog you'll see that it's not a sex blog and she got job offers via her blog even though she likes to show off.
Still got a problem? Let me know.
