YIPPEEEE!!!! NO MORE RÉSUMÉS

As we move deeper and deeper into the age of the Internet many of the companies whose business is closely tied to the Internet, technology, and social media are no longer accepting résumés.

I can just imagine the smiles on your faces now at the thought of not having to create a résumé. However, depending on how tech savvy you are, that smile may disappear. You have to know that they’re going to use something to replace résumés.

So what could they want in place of a résumé? They want applicants to show them a ‘web presence’ to apply for positions. That web presence could include a profile including things like a personal blog, LinkedIn profile, Twitter feed, and links to other various social media sites.
