A job interview can be one of the most important parts in your career. This short meeting can give an employer the make or break impression on you and your skills. Sometimes you get in situations where you want to show the employer all of the relevant things you have done but you just can’t explain them properly. This is when a professional blog can help. A blog that explains what kind of projects you have been doing or outlines clearly awards you have received can allow employers to see the potential you have as employee.
Putting a blog on your resume can improve your chances of getting an interview. If an employer takes the time to look at the blog you have posted and see a quality blog, you might improve your chances. That is why it is so important to have a quality bog with no fatal errors or formatting mistakes. A blog can also give the hiring manager a better sense of your style of writing or attitude towards career related subjects. If appropriate in your field, a blog can show creativity that a resume may not be able to fully show.
Another way you could present yourself at an interview is to show your interest in the company. If you had written a blog post about the company and the things you like about it, they will know that you are really interested in the position. Plus, if the interviewer has seen your blog and can see that you know something about their company, then they may be more willing to find out what you are looking forward to doing when you working for them.
