Start a Blog and Share Your Expertise
Blogging is a great way to share your thoughts and ideas and so demonstrate your expertise. You can write a blog about anything you like but you should try to focus on a theme so that you gain a consistent group of readers who look forward to your next blog post.
It might not seem like you are building a career network while blogging but the networking aspect of blogging occurs when comments are left on your blog posts. Responding to these comments is a great way to interact with your readers.
