Tips to Prepare a Blog That May Assist Your Interview and Job Chances

We have discussed previously that why blogs shouldn’t be brought up at job interviews, in cover letters, or in resumes. There are generally too many ways that blogs can ruin your chances of getting the job. If your blog has:

  • A single post on an unrelated topic.
  • A single unprofessional post.
  • Very little distinctive or fascinating information.
  • Bugs, glitches or otherwise poor design elements.
  • Ads or banners.

Then your blog isn’t ready to be brought up at a job interview, because it will not assist your chances of getting the job. Interviewers are merely interested in seeing that you’re professional and qualified for the position. Imperfect blogs are generally not going to win over any interviewer.

Make Your Blog Perfect

Although, you can develop a website that does assist your chances of landing the job. You simply require conforming to all of the standards of a high quality blog. Here are instructions for writing a blog that will assist your job interview chances.

  • Always Sustain to be Professional – From your first post to your last post, every post you make should be entirely professional. You can throw in a few light jokes here and there, but there should be no swearing, proper grammar, no chat language (LOL, BRB, etc.), no emoticons, and as some spelling mistakes as you can handle. Your blog should be kept professional at all times.
  • Remain On Topic – Almost every post you make should be about the field you’re expecting to break into. That means that if you’ve a blog about teaching, every post should be about teaching. You can develop the rare occasional post wishing happy birthday to a family member, but always inquires yourself if the post will still be seen as professional and if 100 percent of all employers. If the post could ruin your chances at all, with anyone, do not do it.
  • Spend Time Writing Quality, Fascinating Posts – This is immensely significant. Dedication to a field is good, but interviewers need to know that you have ideas and that you’re not simply rehashing topics that everyone knows. Take your time coming up with interesting concepts for posts that will assist you stand out as a unique, intelligent and innovative candidate.
  • Moderate Comments – Do not let a terrible commenter or aggressive spammer cause your blog to look less professional. Moderate comments and merely post comments that are equally as interesting as your post.
  • Spend Time on the Design – Your blog should be free of ads and have no huge glitches. Remember that a website that seems to be unattractive is going to naturally feel unprofessional, no matter how much work goes into its writing.

Still, initiating a blog that is particularly designed to earn you a job someday can be a great tool to use in the future. As long as you are eager to dedicate yourself to its success, you might find that the blog is your key to winning the job over your competition.
