Blog as a new identity

Blog has become a common thing nowadays.

In fact, companies are using it to evaluate the candidate for a certain job position.

Running a search in the internet can basically track a person record. However the company will not disclose that they actually perform a search for it that might invade your privacy right.

Nevertheless, they can still do it and they will.

A blog shows the maturity level of your thinking because naturally we will express ourselves freely in our own blog. Before you can argue that you can express anything you like in your blog, one should also consider what image you are portraying to the public.

I have went on 2 interviews that pull out my blog site on the spot and they pick questions from there. Of course they did ask for my permission.

So is blog still a place that you can yell out all your dissatisfaction the childish way, or a place that you use to show the one that you admire how much she/he meant to you by writing funky stuff?

I believe yes it can still be but proceed with caution as internet identity is a new wave that will invade our privacy right. Anyway we started blogging is to express ourselves and not promoting ourselves to get a job or pretend to have an “intellectual” image.

You can always password protect your blog or easier still, turn off the search engine indexing option so that you can be yourself again.

Ok my blog isn’t great and I admit. Just look at my english and you will know what I mean. Anyway I already turned off the search engine option.
