Blogging? So 2006

Over the past few days, some Web sites have linked to this post from January.

It's about vetting job candidates based on whether they blog.

Today, I would write about vetting job candidates based on their digital savvy.

What social networks are they active participants in? Do they Twitter? Who are their friends and who do they follow?

And how are you developing your personal brand?

The world of news and information is ever moving. Must keep up, just in case some employer has.

I agree John, it does have to be about having an active awareness of this space.

I did like your original point though of blogs helping you see a candidate's 'raw' writing style.
