So, I’ve finally gave in…..I have a blog. So what’s the benefit? I’m really not sure yet, I’ll blog about it when I figure it out! So, at the time I’m writing this, there are an estimated 200+ million blogs on the internet, ranging from academics to politics to music. There is literally a blog for everyone out there. I myself subscribe to a few blogs, and I find them as an insightful look into various topics I’m interested in. There’s no moderators, it’s all opinion. So I’m excited that I can’t get in trouble (at least too much) if I write something on my blog that someone doesn’t agree with. So what should I write about?

I’ve been a recruiter or in the recruiting industry in some way for over 10 years, so my initial thoughts of starting a blog is to share what I’ve learned with others, and to hopefully have people share with me what they’ve learned as well. It also gives me a chance to come up with topics I know very little about, and research them enough to throw together a semi-intelligent blog post (please keep in mind I said semi-intelligent).

Also, with the current state of the economy, I’d really like to find a way to help people. This is what gets me going. I’m going to try and get ALL my colleagues to post their jobs on my site for free, and then eventually drive enough traffic here to help the unemployed. If anyone has any other ideas of how I can use my network and experience, I’d looooove to hear it…..just be nice.
