You’ll never need a resume again.
I hated updating my resume. It is such a brilliantly inefficient medium to communicate your value proposition.
[Sidebar: Oh and it would take me hours and hours to tell you horror stories about people how looked like God's gift to humanity (ok, our company) from their resume and who were absolute dud's five seconds after they opened their mouths in interviews.]
Now when situations of resumes arise, I send the url for the blog. The longer it exists the more valuable it becomes as a alternative resume.
For me personally the blog has not been a business. In total I have received two speaking engagements in two years sourced directly to the blog, and zero consulting engagements etc.
But that is not a surprise because I have deliberately not advertised my services, asked people to hire me and only once asked people to buy my book.
