“Blogging? Isn’t that like a personal diary online, for anyone to read? How could blogging ever help me in my career goals? Isn’t blogging for moms or people who never moved out of their parents’ house?”
Blogging isn’t just for people who want to “share their feelings” and hope that someone responds; Blogging can also be a great tool to develop yourself and showcase your skills, regardless of your major or any career interest.
