Focus on
Workplace blogs
Bottom line: Bloggers can quickly and cheaply build a brand, which may lead to paid opportunities. Many companies attract talent by blogging about the human side of their workplace.

There are several ways to trick your boss into thinking that you're a hard worker. This short sketch is a dramatization of an imaginative technique for leaving the office early - and with the help of some fine-feathered friends. It's conceivable, provided you have a private office with a door and a window that opens. The most daring employees may wish to re-enact this stunt but whether successful or not they'll most likely have to pony up with a new keyboard or a case of beer to buy their colleague's silence in IT.
