Tom Raferty wrote that in all his time blogging, he has never been offered a job.  From reading that post I'm not surprised, I can't tell what it is that he wants to do -- does he wants to blog full time?  Based on his blog output, nobody needs to pay him to do it.  Maybe some the rest of his blog gives more insight into his true aspirations (and yes, I will be reading more of his work to find out).

But the idea is interesting.  When I think of people getting work through blogging, I think of people like Seth and Hugh and other author/speakers.  But their blogs are not landing them a 'job', they're establishing relationships which results in consulative-type work.

Which works for me... and for the record, I am gainfully employed -- but like almost everyone else I would entertain other opportunities.  I'm really eager to apply some of the things I'm learning in my MBA program, possibly in a new environment.  Possibly.  I guess I need to consider getting a resume online...
