creating content

In order to make your blog stand out, you need to make sure you are posting relevant and unique content.

The best way to do this is to create a schedule for each week with an idea for content and a rough plan.

This way, when you sit down to write it you won’t have to brainstorm new ideas every day but you will be ready to write!

post regularly

If you're going to share your blog with future employers you need to make sure it’s regularly updated and features great content. There is nothing worse than setting up a blog but never posting.

Try to post at least once a week, and do not compromise on content.
Make sure everything is well-researched and referenced where applicable (if it means posting less often to create better content, that's OK).

connect with other bloggers

It’s a good idea to connect with other bloggers who are writing and commenting on your industry.

Make sure you like other people’s posts and comment where relevant.
Connecting via blogging is a great way to not only attract a following from other writers but also build up your knowledge on topics you might be less familiar with.

share your blog with employers

Once your blog has been populated and is on a regular schedule, add the link to your CV and cover letter.

If you have been out of work, having a regular blog shows that you have been maximising your jobseeking time and being proactive about your job search.

Sharing your blog link can also be a great way to share more of yourself with them instead of sending them your CV, this can work well if you are writing to a company you really want to work for and pitching yourself.

Get planning, organising and writing and your blog will be up and running in no time.

Take this opportunity to maximise this tool to help you land your dream job!
