My resume is frustratingly "static". "Here's a 1/4 inch deep snapshot of what I've done for the past 10 years." Yawn. I've been reading a bunch of Seth Godin lately...great rants about marketing. Tell me about your favorite Starbucks advertisement. Right, you don't have one. Nobody has one. Starbucks is marketed through a story. Resumes & cover letters are no different that print advertisements. Blogs are stories. I've been watching your "job search" story develop for a while. Makes me want to hire you. :O) I found myself in the same exact situation a few times this spring.

I think that you are askign questions that a lot of people are asking. I think that in the long run linking to a blog may help you avoid more bad fits than it will keep people from good fits. At least I hope so. Good luck in the job hunt! Great stuff! I think that you are askign questions that a lot of people are asking.
