How Blogging can make your Job Search More Successful

As we have discussed before, having a complete profile on HireLifeScience.com is one of the key elements in reaching your goal of finding a life science job. One of those fields, which is too often underutilized, is the website portion. Having a personal website, or blog, is a great way to give potential employers further insight into your personality and abilities.

If you have a blog or have contributed to other blogs or publications, make sure you have a central location for those to be hosted. Think of your website or blog as a digital portfolio that is very personal. Not only do you have an opportunity to show off some of your work, but you can also give potential employers insight into your proficiencies, writing skills, organizational skills and more.

Blogging, especially about industry topics, shows employers that you have passion for a certain field and you are willing to spend free time writing, researching and discussing these topics. A valuable employee is one who has passion for their work and their industry.

When an employer has 2 equally qualified candidates – a well written, quality blog or website might be the thing that sways the odds of landing the life science job in your favor.

Use your words well; it might be the thing that gets you your dream job!
