I recently wrote about how I’m now meeting Fontysiders who have already read my blog and/or experienced my hyperactive Facebook presence. It’s nice as this means we start off on more familiar terms. And I don’t have to introduce myself a lot to them, since they’ve already read about me!
Today I learned that staff in another INSEAD department are reading my blog as well. I was introduced to their Director today and she mentioned my latest post! That’s amazing and I was impressed at their interest. Over the years, though I didn’t plan it as such, blogging has gotten me some publicity, including interviews with the press and a number of job offers. But blogging also comes with a responsibility. The information I put up is read by a number of people who could - in the case of this INSEAD blog - choose to apply or not to apply. I don’t think one little blog will change an important decision but I hope it can fill in the gaps on the fun and frenetic sides of INSEAD that corporate brochures won’t provide.
Today, a classmate asked me and another INSEAD blogger how we could spend so much time blogging, and we simultaneously replied that for us, it doesn’t take much time! We’re so well practised already that it just takes minutes to write something. I wish my homework could be done as fast.
As a blogger I should also know what can be published and what is off limits. Any P1 reading this should know very well their responsibilities too ;-) I hope everyone had a great Friday evening. See you at the Bain party!
