Academic bloggers and the job hunt
The Chronicle of Higher Education features an article, titled Bloggers Need Not Apply, which is an interesting - and scary - read for the academic job seekers. I wonder whether the board, who was disappointed by the content of the blogs for one or the other reason would actually think that the applicants that did not blog were more capable and did not possess such flaws. Better the devil you know...
I've read a number of silly rants where young scientists commented on their PIs - doing that is stupid to begin with. Most science blogs that I read do not talk about much about the daily grind but reflect on the field in general, which I miss with many scientists that focus on the few angular seconds of their day sky.
A well kept blog will add to ones professional standing - certainly, there are a number of pitfalls one has to watch out for. Well, if I didn't, I should stop immediatly. Anyway, I might want to print the article and put it under my pillow.
