You're right that my blog helps convey my expertise. It's been the biggest asset for me when I look for jobs, not only because it showcases my writing ability, but also because it portrays me as someone passionate and enthusiastic about the field. I think the blog format is really a creative paradise for writers, a format they can excel in and stand out above other candidates. Good writing can engender trust and confidence among employers, and it can help you communicate a wealth of knowledge that may not come across in an interview. My only regret is that my blog isn't as cool as my wife's (whataboutmomblog.com), but I'm trying to steer it in that direction. Thanks again for the award.
