After reading Dan Schawbel's articles I feel the significance of social media resume. The present downturn in the job market is really gigantic problem to everyone and the hiring companies are really looking for the outstanding performance and ability. Along with the time the way of presenting oneself is also changing. So social resume is another footstep in new technology which is far better than the traditional way of filing the paper documents. Using visual CV and multimedia are the potential part of Dan’s article but the comments about the visual were really humorous. I also agree with Thon Singer about the privacy of the personnel life by the hiring companies. One thing catches my mind is if anyone wants to create social resume he/she should be really experienced and qualitative. Dan’s secrets about getting the job with social resume were insightful and full of really good tips. It is really important to become little different than the way people doing things traditionally. There are more possibilities of getting jobs if hiring personnel could check the backgrounds online through the social blogs and find the talents and capability. John Mark's comment and his survival tips for the Modern Wage slave on his blog were really impressive. Hence nobody cares about you in the big world, so you should have to present your capabilities and talents by the modern technologies so that the hiring personnel feels you are really need of the society.
Thank you for your thoughts on social media resumes. I think it helps to know of ways to distinguish yourself in today's job market. It's nice to know the range of possibilities, and than select what works best with you as an individual and in your chosen field.
