bloggers for hire  


 I know Brent as a wry, insightful metaklogger. Lately, his eponymous blog has been nailing point after point on preconditions for successful klogging. "Altruism as a cultivated resource" and "freedom to share" dive into knowledge as a flow. Good stuff.  

Brent introduces himself professionally on his home page

Stuff that interests me and therefore I'm kinda good at:

  • keeping abreast with what's happening in the Internet developer world
  • making stuff work that nobody expected could actually be done
  • finding out how to do things when there's little to go on
  • Blogging, Knowledge Logging - web tools for knowledge management and collaboration
  • client: JavaScript / VBScript / DHTML / DOM
  • server: Windows NT/2000 / IIS / ASP / SQL
  • server: Linux / Apache / Perl / PHP / MySql / PostgreSQL
  • Remote Scripting, Web Services

Offers a  text resume too.

The current incarnation of Brent's weblog goes back 18 months. Can you imagine printing his archive pages and just flipping through them to get a feel for him? For his turn-ons and turn-offs? Accomplishments? Citations? The way he approaches problems? Plays well with others?

I'll tell you now: Brent's résumé doesn't do him justice. Go to the blog.

bloggers for hire   staffing   technology  


Shelley Powers, Burningbird, says why she "loved that job with a passion that most people reserve for their lovers." Like a multiple orgasm, your peak work experience broadens your horizons, raises your expectations. You start every engagement tingling with anticipation of another peak. And you work hard to understand what it takes to make it repeatable and better.

That's education. A string of experiences that open you up, release you to be more than you were, that renew your faith and confidence.

Some peak experiences need others, so your knowledge spreads as you invite partners to the dance, apprentices to the shop. Flow and peak performance share the same breath, spreading virtuous memes to newbies.

As you follow her weblog, you learn all about her technical skills and leanings, work style, location, professional alliances. But no CV or resume. There are tools that will parse a structured resume to extract a work history but nothing today that:

  • scans the hundreds of posts on a weblog for KSAs, interests, products/tools used 
  • analyzes the professional context of the blog (links in, links out, and the context of those links), the better to infer descriptors 

By the way, anyone have a dream job for Shelley?
