How To Get A Better Job By Blogging (Part One)
For example, if you are a general practice lawyer, who has studied estate planning on your own time, but have no formal experience in estate planning, how do you get a quality law firm to consider you for a specialized position as an estate planning attorney?
The answer: write a blog on the topic of estate planning.
Employers are looking for solutions to problems, not employees. You will only get hired if you are seen as the solution to a pressing problem that has to be solved, not if you are perceived as another person to be added to the payroll who must then be trained to do the job.
So begin your blog on the topic related to the job you want. If you want to move up to a job as a sports writer, start a sports blog. If you want to be hired as computer software sales person, start a blog on the type of software you want to sell.
Subscribe to Google NewsAlerts for current information on the topic your blog is devoted to.
One day after you do this, you will start getting emails from Google with links to news items and new web pages related to this topic. Open your word processor and copy links and small snippets of the text from these alerts and then add your own comments.
Within six months, if you post four or five new articles to your blog every day, you will have a high profile on the internet for your field. Soon, prospective employers will start seeking you out and be contacting you for more information.
The whole idea is to raise your profile and become a recognized authority in your field. And as an expert, you will have no problems breaking into a field you have already demonstrated that you are well qualified for.
