Nothing spectacular or sustained (unfortunately). Looking back now, I was an idiot for not using this space for personal branding, so my first New Year’s resolution is to build my personal global microbrand from the ground up right here. Stay tuned.

I'm not necessarily slamming the "HireKent.com" idea - there's a place for it (people are getting publicity out of it)... but it is one of the decisions that need to made when deciding to blog (the question is: who am I? What is my blogging voice?) The relationships developed have been, by me, completely unexpected but very very rewarding.

It's okay, though, that my blog is not yet on "Blogs for Jobs." Even though I began the blog to help in my job search, it's really about building my brand long term. It's also a way to document what I have learned - and am learning - and share it with others. And it's a great way to improve my research, analysis and writing skills. And it's a great way to meet new friends (Jason Alba, for one) and explore new communities of thought. My blog will live well beyond my next job. You can hold me to that! Kent Jason,
