Technology Rules
Well this week it seems that new and emergent technologies have been crossing my screen more than any other topic.
I guess that makes sense in that when there is a strong focus on networking ,as I discussed last week, the internet will naturally look for technology to do that and as such the upgrades to sites such as Facebook will get more traction.
What is interesting though is that a number of sites have released new product updates that aren’t directly related to networking. This suggests to me that there must be a significant amount of confidence that the current economic times won’t last forever as a major investment of money, time and employees are required for such releases.
So the links that got my attention most this week are:
Jobsearch rules are meant to be broken – Another reminder that we need to not follow just a formula but look for effectiveness.
Companies Drop Talent Management Ball – Have some organizations panicked and forgotten about preparing for the future?
PCMag’s Top20 Jobsearch sites – While not employment experts PCMag have listed their top sites for jobsearching on the internet.
Free Napkin – Free Napkin is like eBay or Craigslist but for free items. When job searching and short of money this could be really useful. Not a huge range and it looks to be U.S. only at this stage but it’s a commendable idea that deserved some promotion.
PriceWaterhouseCoopers Career Help – When a company this large gets involved in providing career assistance to college leavers it tells me, apart from good publicity, they are positioning themselves as an employer of choice for the future. Which of course suggests they see a future beyond the current issues.
Augmented Reality – OK, So it’s not employment or career related but it’s cool.
