Using A Blog To Land Your Dream Job
Last week I posted an article about how traditional resumes no longer cut it in the job hunting world. Resumes, as I explained, no longer tell an employer what you are capable of, they only tell the employer what your limitations are.
But don’t fret! There is hope!
If you are looking for a way to not only land your dream job, but increase your pay and show what you’re really made of, then I have one big suggestion for you today that just might change your life entirely.
Create a Blog!
Yes! If you want to succeed in the film and television industry, a blog just might be your means of climbing to the top of this incredible, life-altering industry.
Instead of a piece of paper that explains in words what you have done in the past for your previous employers, a blog shows future employers exactly what you’ve done. On a blog, you can post photos, write articles, and even share videos you’ve created on previous gigs.
Now just imagine a potential employer who is looking to hire a new recruit. One person applying for the job turns in a boring paper resume, while the other turns in a cover letter explaining why he wants to work with the company and in that letter, he points to his website where the employer can find samples of his work, testimonials from previous employers and a whole host of images, articles and interviews the young filmmaker has done in the past.
Out of those two people, which one do you think stands the greatest chance of getting the job? The guy with the boring old resume? Or the guy with the interactive website, the long list of testimonials, and the video that knocks his future employer’s socks off?
You guessed it! The guy with the blog!
