The Web is littered with abandoned career blogs

Published by Thom under Advice for Jobseekers

Dec 06, 2007

As we've conducted research for a little project that we're not quite yet ready to officially announce (still working out a few minor tweaks), we have been simply amazed by the number of career and leadership blogs we've stumbled upon that have been abandoned by their authors.   What happened to that can-do spirit?  That good old American sticktoitiveness? Fortunately, we still have great bloggers like Penelope Trunk , Eve Tahmincioglu and Joel Cheesman who are working hard to deliver great content and engage their readers. I think the greatest name for a "career" blog I've come across, though, is this one by Earl Boykins:  emo + beer = busted career.   We're sure it's not that bad, Earl.
