There are thousands of blogs related to your field of work, many of which are written by thought leaders and decision makers in your field. Blogging is also a way for people to become well-known and to show their talents to the world. It’s a cheap, easy way to improve yourself so that you can also succeed in your career. HR managers are aware of this now and scanning blogs is part of the recruitment process for many companies.
Create a blog for yourself.
You can do this using WordPress or Blogger (I started with Blogger and graduated from WordPress). These platforms are free to use and are easy to set up and customize. Blogs can be used (they have no specific order):
· Set yourself apart from competition
· Demonstrate your expertise in your field. In your work, you will have
There are several good ideas to help your company. Unfortunately, you don’t always get honors for it. Sometimes it’s because you’re too far in the food chain, and sometimes it’s because your ideas aren’t big enough. This may still be a good idea. So put it in your blog. Be careful not to post this idea when implementing it. You don’t want your competitors to know which competitive intelligence may harm your current employer. That might get you fired. Use your discretion and write down your post in a way that shows your expertise without getting into trouble.
· Talk about industry trends in your field. This will show that you have an understanding of your industry and may attract managers who want to hire someone. For some, this may give them the idea that you have greater potential than most people. After all, the difference between middle and top managers is usually not the number of years of work. This is a vision and understanding of the industry that can achieve good long-term decisions that will have a positive impact on the company’s future. As someone they don’t know, it gives you some insight that remains unknown among other potential competitors, giving you an advantage.
· Become a resource. There are thousands of job seekers with 15-20 years of experience. so what? What sets you apart? If you can be a resource for others in the industry through your blog, you will be different. Gone are the days when information is power. Today, sharing information is also power. If you use your blog to impart knowledge and interact with people in the industry and provide them with good advice, you will do much more than many job search competitors do while proving to the hiring manager that you are resourceful and willing to help others.
· Develop your professional network. Regular blogging and making high-quality posts will do this. A high-quality network will provide you with opportunities. When you impress people on the network, they will not hesitate to propose your resume for upcoming positions. The more opportunities you open to yourself, the better your chances of getting a great job.
Now that you’re ready to set up a blog, it’s time to take some final precautions. You need to keep certain DOS and NOTS in mind. This will not only help you stand out, but it will also stand out as a blogger.
dos
1. Includes links to the latest resume. If people like your blog, they might want to know your background, contact you and interview you. Including links on your site on your resume may also give you more benefits, i.e. attracting more traffic to your website and giving people more information about you. Includes links to words and PDF versions of your resume.
2. Include links to your social network. Just like you use a website to promote social networks, you can do this using a blog. People like to hire people who “know” or think they know. Now, you may not be able to be friends with everyone, but you can use your social networks and other avenues to make people understand who they are. When people read your blog and view your social network, they understand your personality and feel like they understand you better and trust you more.
3. Analyze in your post. Portrait yourself as an organized person and problem solver. Since it is your blog, you can choose the topic of each post to control the conversation. Take advantage of it for your advantage. For example, blog about problems in your industry and break them down. Use your judgment to analyze the problem and show the steps on how to deal with it. The problem is not necessarily the main one. As long as you paint clear thinking and/or thinking out of the box, simple questions will work.
4. Share insights about your personal life. People don’t hire resumes, they hire people. Talk about your family and your personal life. Introduce interesting anecdotes from your life and family and talk about moments that touch you. Express yourself and your emotions instead of extremists, shocking or like a cookie. This is a tribute to your family, it shows your character to your future colleagues. Ultimately, people work so that they can provide a better life for their family, that’s their priority and you should provide a better life for your family.
5. Respect others. Sometimes your personal opinion may be good for you, but it may offend others. You don’t want to actually do this during your job search or at any time. Yes, freedom of speech is important, but by blocking your blog, you are not blocking that freedom. In the long run, you show better judgment and won’t hurt you.
6. Keep your blog up to date. If your blog is fun, people will want more. Give people what they want. But if you post occasionally, people don’t come back often. Posted at least once or twice a week, and on other days, links to other articles that fit your topic.
7. Interact with your readers. If someone posts something, please respond to them. This will help you build relationships with them and show them their opinions are important to you. If you make others feel important, they will thank you more.
8. Organize your blog. Separate the professional, personal and family parts of the blog. This shows that people are important in all aspects, but you have boundaries in every aspect.
No one likes their colleagues whose personal lives overlap. Depict this through your blog.
No
1. Don’t criticize your former employers. Not doing this indicates a bad personality and forces people to ask a question: “If he says badly about that person’s back, what will he say to me when I’m not around?” There are other effects. Your previous employer may have contacts in your future work or may be asked to refer to it. If they see your blog, they may have a negative impact on your job search. Remember that your blog is public so anyone can see it. Critical things about people spread quickly say that at some point, people who are criticized will know this.
2. If it is not the latest, please do not promote your blog. This is unprofessional and closes visitors. A person can be very particular and spend a lot of concentration, but when they are online, their concentration is a 5-year-old. If they don’t get what they want in your blog, they will disappear in seconds and never come back. Thinking of this, you won’t invite people to your house and then not be there, right? Again, you shouldn’t invite people to your blog if you don’t have anything interesting.
3. Don’t discuss politics, religion, or gender. We are part of today’s diverse workforce. There are different political views, religion and the same number of men and women in the workplace today. The last thing you want to do is offend someone. You never know when it will come back to hurt you. Many people think they should be allowed to express their opinions and somehow it is right. But there is a time and a place. This includes politics, religion and sexuality. Your blog should help you find a job, not a promotional bias, political or social agenda, or propaganda about your religious beliefs unless you just want to work for a company that fully adheres to your beliefs and perspectives. Unless you are willing to lose your job opportunities due to your beliefs, don’t post someone who might close someone different from your beliefs.
4. Do not post inappropriate pictures. Remember what I told you about cleaning up your closets? Don’t get it wrong and clean the closet and then get it dirty.
Not a good photo for your blog
5. Don’t make your blog profitable. You are not making money on your blog. You are blogging to show your personality and find a job. Money through blogs will keep people away from your blog site, which will ruin your purpose. . . All of this cost a few cents of Adsense income or membership income.
6. Don’t discuss work secrets or issues with colleagues. We also introduced this earlier. While the topic of discussion doesn’t seem important to you, it may really be important to your current or past employer. You may inadvertently give up the company’s secrets. This can cause you legal trouble and show you to future employers that you cannot disclose your assistant.
7. Keep it short and simple. Your post should be accurate. No one has time to keep reading. You don’t want people to think you’re bored or repetitive. oh! Spell check and grammar check everything!
