Self promotion has come a long way with the advent and growing popularity of social media and unemployment blogs are just one example of this tendency. Whether it be unique business cards or individuals making pitches to specific companies, self promotion is a necessary fact if you want to get ahead in this 21st century digital age.
I think that unemployment blogs are particularly interesting because they work to promote the jobless in interesting and creative ways. Networking will never be the same again.
