Hire me Motherblogger!

Five years ago, few people had heard of blogs — online journals that are commonly used to chronicle the lives and opinions of their authors.

Of course you already know that, otherwise what are you doing here?


Now, more than two million Americans are blogging, according to a study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project — and blogging is spreading in the job market, said hiring managers and experts who study blogging.

I guess Canada is just another state?

"It's a little like a prescreening," said Roy Singham, the company's chief executive at Jupiter Research in New York who covers blogs. "We're looking for needles in haystacks, and the blog is like a massive magnet."

From some of the Blogs I've seen, a massive shit magnet.

However, it is advised, if you wish to get noticed by companies scouring Blogs for the right employee to fill vacancies, avoid strong political views, sexual or religious links.

Or basically, everything that makes up most Blogs.....OK just don't look at the Adult Friend Finder link and I'll cancel my "Jesus Loves Me- Dailey Message" link I was going to put up this week.

He added: "That's the advantage of blogging — if you do it well and have interesting things to say, people pay attention."

So much for me then. Good luck with your search guys......worthless assholes.....Did I say that out loud?

Strange,

You've got a solid singing voice and the band has got a great sound. I know this because if this was 1987 there is no way in hell I would have listened to your band. I think Private Sector sounds a lot like Honeymoon Suite (I mean this as a compliment btw).

Between Kingston, Belleville, Peterborough, Oshawa and Trawna there are lots of college and univiersties that Private Sector could play at that wouldn't invlove much more than an hour or so drive. 80's nights are popular these days at private functions as well, time to cash in Strange.

Yours,

Col. Reg Parker

and your blog is one of the best out there. You've just got to go web whoring to get your name a little better known (this has worked well for me).
