The End of Resumes?


We have all read reports that employers are "Googling" candidates ensuring no questionable values are displayed on their Facebook or other social network pages. And it was interesting to hear Mr. Howard say that web profiling is an integral part of his hiring process. So, I am wondering if the paper resume will eventually become a thing of the past?

Will employers prefer that our work experience, past performance, and accolades reside on unbiased third party websites rather than on a resume we create? Will the dreaded "permanent record" from grammar school actually become permanent?

Better not burn any bridges, you may get negative feedback!
