Best UK Recruitment Blog 2009 - Louie's rules
On what basis did the Top 10 become the Top 10. Believe it or not, there was good reason. Here follow the Top 10 rules with the blogs that offend Louie rule-by-rule.
- Writing a few recent posts is a good start. (Thoughts on online recruitment [not many thoughts!])
- You cannot just start writing again during the competition period. (Picture More)
- Your blog has to be interesting rather than dull, dull, dull. (GAAPWeb)
- Your blog must be your own and not a company blog. (Reckitt Benckiser)
- You cannot be a medley of experts just to get some volume of posts. (Digital Recruiting)
- You have to be original and not just a karaoke act. (Recruitment 2.0)
- Outright plagiarism is not acceptable - put some effort in. (Simply Better)
- Posts have to be more than a few lines of nothingness. (Enhance Media)
- You need to write something new not state the bleeding obvious. (RiseSmart)
- You must look like a blog star, sound like a blog star, and act like a blog star. (See this post)
Of course, some of you may well feel the rules have not been applied consistently. Can I therefore refer you to the Louie Walsh Rule Book, rule 78, sub-section C, paragraph 4:
"The rules may be applied inconsistently to please the judge and any judgee considering this to be unfair - tough luck".
