“The ‘resume’ on LinkedIn is really the standard LinkedIn Profile, but it’s very popular with recruiters looking for good candidates. “The LinkedIn Profile is really the resume of the future,” Joyce said. It can be done via Research in Motion Ltd’s Blackberry device or Apple Inc’s iPhone, she added. Joyce suggests creating a resume through popular networking site LinkedIn - a business networking site that lets users create a profile, list skills, work history, employment goals and contact details - is among the more secure ways to compile a resume online. With mobile devices playing a bigger role in the social networking phenomenon, any job hopeful with a Web-connected or smartphone can now compose resumes, view job listings and contact prospective employers on the go. “You don’t need to stay glued to your phone or computer at home anymore.” “Mobile technology and social networking has shifted the whole job search paradigm,” said Susan Joyce, editor of Job-Hunt.Org, a site offering online job search tips. Since the start of the recession in December 2007, about 6.7 million workers have been laid off according to latest statistics - at a time the popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter have exploded, drawing millions of users per day.Īs these sites continue to alter social and cultural landscapes, they are also transforming the job search process, enabling more and more people to connect with potential employers, promote their own skills, set up support groups and search for job leads and contacts.
