Tomorrow morning I am meeting with a group to discuss the current economy and job market. I asked to come in to talk about blogging and how it can expand your resumé. Most of the gentleman who participate in the group are older and experiencing age discrimination. Creating a simple blog can help eliminate the age discrimination issue and give any candidate a leg up when looking for a job. The video below shows a quick and easy way to create a blog. This doesn’t discuss building traffic, or a great design. The intent is to show how easy it is to create a blog for free. Here are a few other pointers if your intent is to build a blog as a resume enhancer.
- Decide what you want to blog about related to your field.
- Pick a topic you want to give a speech on and write down 50 questions you want to answer in the speech. Create a blog as an answer to each question.
- You only need 30 minutes per day to write a blog article. Do it.
- It’s not hard and it can get to be very fun. My wife and I went to the mall on Saturday and I audio blogged about businesses in the mall while on our date. It can be and should be fun.
Enjoy the video. It’s easy to get started but if you have questions or want more detail contact me at kevin@metzgerbusiness.com
