Better to be prepared, right? <strong>Krystyna</strong> - You are welcome for my feedback. Just note that I'm distinguishing between a blog post and an article. <strong>Darlene</strong> - I thought so too, although I can't take any credit for it :) <strong>John</strong> - I agree... although there is a distinction between publishing online and delivering a specific, targeted article as a follow-up. My mileage on article distribution has been significantly less than what I've gotten from targeted placement (one of the best has been on <a href="http://marketingprofs.com">Marketing Profs</a>... and that's great for Google results. But for that special touch, shoot it to someone as an attachment. Also, I talk a lot about the google part of personal branding, with my You Get It awards... hang tight, the next You Get It winner is announced either tomorrow or Wednesday (and she certainly deserves it)!

If that sounds a bit odd, it’s because it’s definitely thinking “outside the box.” The standard follow up is to simply e-mail or, even better, call the hiring manager or interviewer. After you send your resume to someone, or have an interview (whether it’s an informational interview, or a first interview, or whatever), you want to follow-up, right? You want to be on the short list! We’ve been told to follow-up with a phone call, or a thank you letter, or something like that. In fact, a thank you letter could include something along the lines of “oh yeah, I also wanted to mention that…” so you can further show them how wonderful and great you are.

If I think, that my article (post) is quite good, but not right time to publish, I safe, wait; work on. I learn a lot from others, and I'm never nervous for critical opinion about my writing. I'm thankful to Janson for many feadbacks, I asked him for. Some writing need time, grow to expand more ideas, knowledge to make us happy.

Even more reason for me to start writing articles. Jason, that sounds like a really good tip. Even more reason for me to start writing articles.
