Professionally Presenting Yourself in a Job Interview Using a Blog

Creating a blog for personal or professional use seems to be a trend that is being used in the business world today.  Social media is great for finding out information on a potential business one would like to work for, but it is also being used for employers to look at potential employees.  A blog allows a person to put more detailed information about themselves, which is good if done professionally.

At a job interview, you want to boast about yourself to your potential employer.  A blog provides a way for you to show information instead of just telling it to the employer or having them read it on your resume.  Say I was applying for a large public relations corporation and I had done many events relating to the occupation in the past.  A blog would provide a way for me to show the potential employer pictures, testimonials, and other interesting facts related to that event.  If done well, a blog can be a large advantage to a job interview.
