Library Stuff today linked to an interesting article by Kim Moody on online portfolios posted on LIS Career ("The Library & Information Science Professional's Career Development Center"), Online Portfolios, or “WOW! Look at Everything I’ve Done!”
Its a good reminder that I should keep better track of the classes I've been taking, workshops & conferences I go to, papers I've been writing, etc. and posting them on my site in case they're useful later (especially as I watch many of my friends go through difficult job search processes).
It also makes me want to write more serious things here on the blog... without completely boring my few friends and family members that come by to visit of course :) Library Stuff had a link back in May as well to an article about blogging and job searching, Resumes Are for Dummies, which is a good argument for blogging on professional topics as a way to increase your visibility and impress potential employers... hmmm.... For now I guess I'll stick to blogging mostly about daily life and what my friends and family are up to...
Posted by Emily at June 15, 2004 08:52 AMI scroll through your blog backwards and the musings from the last few days have been more serious and really interesting. I may comment on some particular ones (the list of research requests, the relationship between jobs and liberal arts and political appeals to women), but I really enjoyed them all. The issue for me is finding the time to read the blog text, exploring where the blog topics and hotlinks take me, and just thinking through the range of topics you raise. Exciting stuff. Thanks.
