A list gives ways<br \/>\n    a blogger<br \/>\n      can use the medium to make her-\/himself a better candidate.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">Our own experience has been somewhat different. We have<br \/>\n        been advised by people we know well and trust, who seem to know what<br \/>\n        they are talking about, to be careful not to lose our present position<br \/>\n        because the accumulated content of the Dowbrigade News basically makes<br \/>\n        us unhireable by anyone who knows how to use Google.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">As it is we are self-editing mercilessly.&nbsp; Anything<br \/>\n        involving in anyway drugs, personal sexual encounters, our co-workers,<br \/>\n        our straight-world side-jobs, any incident on which the statute of limitations<br \/>\n        has yet to expire or personal knowledge of public personalities is strictly<br \/>\n        off-limits.&nbsp; Our best material, out the window! And that is besides<br \/>\n        the blood oaths, vows of silence, memory wipes and binding non-disclosure<br \/>\n        agreements we have been subjected to over the years and around the world.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Someday, when we are fully retired and\/or independently<br \/>\n        wealthy, and too old to kill for some fantastic 40-year-old stories,<br \/>\n        we will be able to tell all. In the meantime, we hide behind the flimsy<br \/>\n        facade of the Dowbrigade and try to offer a little illumination around<br \/>\n        the edges.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jessica the Cyber Librarian writes of people who found jobs through their Blogs: This Globe and Mail article discusses how companies might use someone&#8217;s blog to influence their hiring decision and interviews some human resources people and bloggers who got &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/2004\/11\/11\/help-unwanted\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":299,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/299"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2713\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
