Posting frequency
by bruno
The word on the street is that if you’re applying for faculty positions or jobs people look at your blog. What they are looking for is how much time you’ve spent on it.
The rationale is simple. If you’re posting a lot, this is time you could have spent thinking and writing fellowship/grant applications. In other words, the less you post, the more likely you are obsessed with dedicated to your work.
Now, obviously none of this makes sense except in the light of a work-a-holic society where “bare hands dug freedom” (for a less contemporaneous read, please read this).
At any rate, judging by the dates on the first page, it looks like I’m well on my way for a position in a high profile school :-)
