No More Resumes: Send Us a Link
WSJ:
Union Square Ventures recently posted an opening for an investment analyst.
Instead of asking for r’esum’es, the New York venture-capital firm-which has invested in Twitter, Foursquare, Zynga and other technology companies-asked applicants to send links representing their “Web presence,” such as a Twitter account or Tumblr blog. Applicants also had to submit short videos demonstrating their interest in the position.
Union Square says its process nets better-quality candidates -especially for a venture-capital operation that invests heavily in the Internet and social-media-and the firm plans to use it going forward to fill analyst positions and other jobs.

I think this is the future of business. No more paper. The companies will require a website of some sort that represents the applicant. Resumes may become just one section of someones website, sending companies to the page to learn about their work history and the person, too. I am not so crazy about the idea of video applications, but I will admit that it makes sense.
