Employment 2.0, Part 1
Are resumes dead? Richie Norton and many others tend to think so.
On the other hand, employers are still accepting traditional or semi-traditional resumes. Tips for offering job help to patrons:
1)Hold a Resume Workshop.
2) Offer online resume help (Jonesboro Public)
3) Teach 21st century tools (LinkedIN or VisualCV)
4) Partner with workforce agency
5) Create a job help website
6) Rethink your computer policy
VisualCV
If you want a resume that’s more than a sheet of paper, think about using VisualCV. VisualCV is more of a portfolio than a resume. Incorporate images and work into your VisualCV. I can see this being a useful resource for web design or broadcasting majors.
Emurse.com is more of a traditional online resume.
Job searching websites:
There are also job websites for job specialties.
Dice.com for IT related jobs.
DWYA.com lists several specialties and websites that are good for each type of job search.
Cvworkforce.org is another good source (though some links are defunct) for specialty job searches.
For twitter fans there is, Tweetmyjobs.
Users can be notified by phone when new jobs are posted. Tweetmyjobs.com aggregates job postings from 7,000 companies.
