The Death of The Resume

Thursday, February 12, 2009 by Craig Burton
We live in a very connected world full of facebooking and twitter updates and we're still providing information about our careers and professional portfolios based on two pieces of paper.

It's absurd.

The trouble, of course, is that we're very comfortable with resumes. It's the system by which companies do their employee screening and it's what applicant tracking systems are based on.

But this will shift.

The era of online portfolios and video job interviews is here. Companies are cutting unnecessary expenses. Why would they not pursue more tangible evidence of an individual's professional contributions before contacting them by phone, let alone bring them in for an interview? The change is coming. The more progressive companies will lead.

CareerScribe offers a means to build and share your professional portfolio with anyone. Make a profile and be part of the revolution.
