Blogging is your opportunity and career-booster

Having a blog can be good for your career. Both in your current job or when you’re looking for what to do next, blogging can give you an opportunity to stand out and set you apart as an expert in your field.

A blog is your professional online presence. You might have a Facebook account but that is not something that will get you new customers, new opportunities or a new job.

On the other hand, having a well-executed blog gets you noticed, gives you a competitive advantage and improves your CV.

Just Google my name…

It is now common to Google someone’s name after having met someone or when doing a job interview. With a blog you will impress as you stand a chance of ranking high in Google.

You will not only impress people when you say that you have a blog, or that you have blogged about that topic, but also if they Google your name and your blog is on top of the search engine results.

What’s blogging good for?

• A blog is good for marketing yourself and branding your name.
