Is the job market evolving with web 2.0?
by Orrin Konheim
According to this article from Imperial Valley News (found here), the job market might be evolving with internet 2.0 because as the economy gets tighter, managers need to streamline the hiring process and web 2.0 can provide the much needed assist.
According to the article:
"Managers use it to eliminate useless - and costly - interviews and prescreen candidates before bringing them in for in-person interviews. And job hunters can use technology to distinguish themselves from the pack.
By using a Web-based video interviewing system, hiring managers can view video clips of job candidates, any time, any place, and share them with other decision makers."
A video or virtrual resume can create interest in a candidate and can be used as a tool for job hunters to get a quicker read on elements such as personality and job interest. This is clearly a growing trend and they already fall in with established practices that we do every day, such as log into facebook, linkedin or myspace.
In short, it is a saver of both time and resources for both parties, and with that, it looks to be a trend that will continue to grow. Networking is also a key to streamlining the process as job employers will continue to trade applications with each other.
