Sad but true. I spent some time building a personal site mostly for fun, but also to get back into industry. Many companies view a blog as a liability... better off studying for a few months to get some extra certifications.

What do you mean by they view a blog as a liability?

I think it depends. If you're blogging about technology findings it's fine. If you're blogging about how much you hate <insert politician here>, then yeah companies may see it as a liability.

I'm interested in hearing his reasoning, too. Maybe said companies don't want people posting about what they're doing at work or don't want a PR nightmare if the employee says the wrong thing
