Blogging May Be Essential To Your Career

At Real Lawyers Have Blogs, Kevin O'Keefe links to 2 recent items on the potential impact a blog can have on one's career.

Among the points raised:

• blogs rank higher in search engines when employers Google candidates (this is a good thing generally but it can get scary - at work, the boss of the boss of my boss mentioned to me she met a person high up in judicial circles in Paris who had found my blog - yikes!)
• blogging shows a blogger starting conversations and interacting with others, which are positive traits that employers look for
• blogging is an education–in order to blog on any subject daily a blogger gets to know it well
