When I finish

When I finish, I'll get out to the new big wild field and have to market myself for work. Here's advice on marketing yourself from a new OUBS blogger, Terry.

Civil serf

Today's Telegraph mentioned this blogger who writes about the terrible things that happen (or don't) in the Civil Service. "Oh!" thought I, "this is something I should read", but who ever she is, she's been scared off, doesn't want to be outed, and her web site has gone, isn't there.

The Times announces, "The hunt is on!" for this poor civil servant and journalists suggest that when she loses her job for being a critical blogger then she'll make lots of money by selling her blog as a book. But they forget, that before now, for revealing information, civil servants don't just get fired, but also hauled up in court. So if the newpapers out her, then she could be in big trouble. Some realise that.

Pity, cos now we've lost the opportunity to read what she had to say.
