CAREER MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT
Pros and Cons of Blogging and Virtual
Interviews in a Job Search
- Symposium on emerging technologies in career management
Resumes are great tools for introducing yourself to potential employers and recruiters.
But resumes do little to foster the relationship between you and hiring managers.
Blogging gives you the opportunity
to consistently authenticate the skills represented in your resume and continue the conversation with the people who need
to know who you are and benefit from those insights.
Readers expect to see quality information from a trusted source.
Readers also wish to be pointed to resources they are unaware of to provide them with a unique advantage or perspective.
You want them to feel comfortable with youa nd the information you present so they keep coming back to your blog.
The
best blogs are those that create commnity for a specific nich. Your candidacy for one industry may not be represented
for some positions unless it addresses common elements relevant to positions your seek.
Video interviewing
is a quantum leap difference.
