One Louder : Want me to find your blog resume without the trouble of having to send it to me?

Want me to find your blog resume without the trouble of having to send it to me?

Link from your blog resume to this post and I'll check out your resume by reviewing my referrals. Pretty stealth, huh? Nobody needs to know except the 2 of us ; )

The funny part is that if we see it as a test of some sort, those who failed it will have their names plastered at the bottom of this post with no chance to remove them.

Bubs, she mentioned "stealth". PingBack is not stealthy :)

Um, I believe the intention was that you would link TO this blog FROM your resume... not the other way around.

I believe though that once you make the link on your blog, you also have to click it at least once. Only then will there be a referral.

Wednesday, October 20, 2004 12:36 PM by Heather

Maurits is right...I was talking about referrals, not trackbacks. But if you want to trackback, go for it ; )

Brant, I haven't even visited your homepage yet...I guess this is a marketing opportunity, huh?

# Wanna Work for Microsoft? Blog Your Resume

This is gotta be one of the stranger things used for recruitment, although not nearly as cool as Google's weird math puzzles on billboards. If you link to this blog entry from Heather Leigh, a Microsoft recruiter, she promises to...

And if you do not have a blog? Is it okay to just link to an online resume?

# re: Want me to find your blog resume without the trouble of having to send it to me?

Thursday, October 21, 2004 5:26 PM by Heather

With regard to the last question, OK to link to an online resume or feel free to send it to me at heathham@microsoft.com

I've gotten lots of resume referrals so far and all of the technical ones I am going to share with the tech recruiters (wish I could provide feedback, but that's not my area of expertise anymore). Thanks to everyone who has linked. This is fun!

Hmm, not sure why I would like to you from my resume blog... but I've included its URL in the field above. ;p

heh, I almost opened up a new blog, just so I could run a "Discount Phenteremine" entry to mess with this whole referral plan here.... ;-)

# Resume Submission via Trackback

Heather at Microsoft is taking resume submissions via Trackbacks....

Monday, October 25, 2004 5:56 PM by Heather

John-someone with an escort service website beat you to it ; )

Alen- .Text tracks referrers separately from Trackbacks. If someone links to my blog, it comes up in a list on my admin page. So I can see their site (the originator of the link to my site) without it being visible in comments. Pretty cool

Christopher wonders if I will ridicule submitters of poorly written resumes. Here's a tip...many of the best candidates have poorly written resumes....hmmm, there's a blog post in there somewhere I think ; )

Heather, I am in the midst of a move back to Texas, so responses may be slow for 2-3 weeks.

I have always been interested in marketing Mobile, embedded tech and have followed the Pervasive tech field from the enterprise-business sphere.

Aloha, Heather. Interesting idea this blog-linking resume acquisition scheme. You might get more resumes and traffic than you bargained for though!

Strange that I came across this just an hour after looking at start.com's beta complete with the "hiring" link. I'd love to be considered for this team. In addition to my <a href="http://starr-resume.blogspot.com/">resume-blog</a>, you might also check out my<a href="http://qconverge.blogspot.com"> technology blog</a>; my intense focus on convergence of technologies at the mobile handset level might be of use...

I haven't been up to much lately. I've basically been doing nothing , but it's not important. I can't be bothered with anything recently. I've just been letting everything happen without me lately.
