Want to Blog About Your Work?

Do you want to help your firm exceed in the business world? Do you have a knack for writing? More importantly, do you want to get recognized and let your manager see that you are going that extra mile to do what’s above and beyond of your job expectation?

Blogging about your firm is one of the ways to do this. More and more firms are allowing their employees to blog, whether it be internal or external. This can boost company credibility and advertise itself in a global way.

Internal blogging refers to employees writing blogs that are stored on an intranet or company server. Only the employees within that company can view the information that they write. This is definitely good for sharing ideas and skills among teammates and other departments.

I am actually a part of a committee called the “Administrative Exchange” at my firm. We hold meetings every so often (since everyone’s busy and can’t really figure out when these meetings work for everyone), but we do try to meet at least once every quarter. We share ideas, skills and even ask guest speakers to provide up-to-date information and trends on what we need for our careers.

External blogging is basically the same thing that you are reading right at this moment. You have a server, such as Blogger, WordPress or TypePad and you write about whatever you wish. Just remember not to divulge particular company information, since this can definitely land you in hot water. Try to keep to a niche of a topic that you are very well versed in.

Helping your company grow will show your boss that you are trying to think outside of the box. In turn, watch your performance review sky rocket to new limits.
