Career Hub » Oh, Say Can You See…

Blue Sky Resumes Blog » Watch What You Say
Social media is amazing. We can think something, type it, and just like that, broadcast it to the world. Amazing!
But this ability to communicate with everyone has a downside. All too often, people feel that because they can say something, they should. I can’t count the number of smart and interesting people I’ve stopped following on Twitter because they kept sending out political missives that I neither agreed with nor wanted to hear. The same goes for overly religious content. I’m on Twitter for social and business reasons and - unless religion or politics are your actual profession and unless …

Blue Sky Resumes Blog » Clean Up Your Online Footprint
In a recent post, Career Rocketeer discussed the importance of building a positive online footprint.
Your online footprint is the digital imprint of your life. It’s the things you created deliberately, with readers in mind, like your LinkedIn profile or VisualCV. But it’s also the comments you made two years ago on a political blog. It’s the nasty review you once wrote on Amazon because you were feeling cranky. It’s the letter to the editor from last year. It’s the hobbyist website you own that has nothing to do with your profession. In short, it’s everything you ever did online …

Blue Sky Resumes Blog » When is a Critique Not a Critique?
I’m a little late with this posting, but a couple of weeks ago Jason Alba over at Jibber Jobber wrote an interesting post that got a lot of attention. His main subject was the free resume critique service offered by The Ladders but his comments apply to more than just that company and so I wanted to use the post as a jump off point to discuss something that’s been bothering me for a while … the problem with free resume critiques.
