A free blog to find a job
One of the leading French sites for recruiting managers, Cadres Online, has started a blogging portal for candidates who would like to promote themselves via a blog. This new portal opened this week and you can create your blog easily and freely by going to this blogging portal.
Why use a blog to search for a job? As I often wrote, a blog is a tool you can use to promote yourself. And it’s easier to describe your competencies on a blog than on a resume sent to a recruitment cabinet.
By the way, these cabinets are starting to look seriously at blogs, and some of them have even hired bloggers after reading them. (As an example in France, check the site of Jacques Froissant, from Altaïde.)
Cadres Online has signed an agreement with TypePad France, which allows them to propose free blogs — which is a good solution for most of us — or paying solutions for candidates who would like to have several blogs.
Let’s finish on a warning note: this kind of blog is mostly reserved to people searching for a job. You should avoid this portal if you have a good job today.
