Bitacoreo y salud laboral
Me decía ayer Joaquín que debería hablar sobre el caso que se explica en Bloggers Need Not Apply, al que llegó desde Blogging and job prospects: from the academy to the SCOTUS. Además, en los comentarios recomienda la lectura de este otro: Warning: Blogging may be dangerous to your future.

Como Joaquín ya ha hecho un buen resumen, poco me queda añadir a mi, en todo caso, mis párrafos favoritos:

Curioso:

But the site quickly revealed that the true passion of said blogger's life was not academe at all, but the minutiae of software systems, server hardware, and other tech exotica.

It would never occur to the committee to ask what a candidate thinks about certain people's choice of fashion or body adornment, which countries we should invade, what should be done to drivers who refuse to get out of the passing lane, what constitutes a real man, or how the recovery process from one's childhood traumas is going.

In other words, bloggers aren't just seeing their own job prospects torpedoed by the power of public electronic archives, but they're using that same power to torpedo the job propsects of others.
