Social Networks and Employment

Fixing the Resume

Setting aside my valid concerns about privacy, spam, and identity theft, I am posting my resume online for the whole world to see. It’s a social experiment to determine the value of social networks in improving the lives of its individual members.

Is it possible to create the perfect resume using the collective wisdom of social networks? Can Twitterers (Tweeps) produce a more concise but slightly unreadable resume, FTW?
Do Facebook friendships provide more networking potential than professional networks like LinkedIn? Is it really all about who you know, rather than what you know?

Feel free to post a (moderated) comment about my resume, and I’ll modify it according to your suggestions. You can find it here: www.RayAcayan.com/blog/Resume

Landing the Job

Are social networks more effective at connecting employers and job-seekers through the hidden job market, than traditional sites like Monster and Workopolis? (More about my latest venture, Social Job Market Inc., in a future blog.)
