Blogs becoming resources for job seekers

You check the want ads. You network. But are you blogging?

Job seekers in the know are reading employee blogs to find out about openings that aren’t generally well-known.

In between comments on their aging dogs or the sleeping habits of their newborns, bloggers do a lot of chitchatting about work-related issues that can be a gold mine of information for job hunters.

Sometimes it’s very technical stuff about projects, such as the blog entry from the Firefox lead engineer at Google that starts out, ‘‘A lot of people complain about the Firefox ‘memory leak(s).’ ’’

The entry generated 287 comments, many of which were illuminating to those of us (read: me) who have no idea what Firefox is in the first place. But if you want to work in software development at Google, I reckon it would be a good idea to know about memory leaks.
