No, because whatever you wrote there might be taken against you during your interview.

maybe it is justifiable if you're applying as a writer... i dunno, if the employer needs to see a sample of your work?

You can include your your blog address if it is a professional blog - i.e. about business - AND you're confident that you write well.

I agree with soulontap.

It's ok to place a blog on your resume if your blog is a business blog. An example of a business blog is something like this http://andywibbels.com/

Not all blogs are personal journals like what most of us know about them.

As long as the blog you've put on your resume is something that showcases your writing talent without dealing with too personal POV or provides links to your portfolio if you have any, a blog might just win you that coveted interview. :-)

I guess it depends on the job you're applying for. If you're applying as a writer, it could help.

IMHO, BLOGs whether personal or professional can showcase how much creativity you put into writing. And NOT ALL people write well.

Some companies (I think HSBC) actually REQUIRE you to disclose if you have a personal blog. Remember that most companies also have confidentiality provisions and voluntarily giving them your blog may be a recipe for getting yourself into trouble the moment you slip and write about somethign work-related.
