Technology is constantly changing and it is very hard for some of us to keep up with. By the time we get used to one thing another comes on the market. New Media is the future and we can expect great things to come. I'm very happy to be in this generation of technology users. I gave some thought as to what I would have the next new thing be. I realized that that most of what we need is already out there. So what seems to be most popular are social networking sites. There is only one professional networking site that is popular, that's LinkedIn. I would develop a better site that is more interactive and that can better assist in helping people find jobs. Besides sending emails of suggested jobs, which most of us don't even bother to open. I would set up my site to allow users to create a profile where they have an option to allow us to automatically apply for jobs we think are best suited for them. Saving them the time of logging in and applying themselves. Their resumes will be analyzed and suggestions made to improve them as well. The types of jobs being applied to will have to be preset by the user at the time they change the settings. They will also be able to apply to jobs within a certain salary range and in areas they approved. This is something I wish that was in place now as I get tons of emails everyday for open positions. Most are irrelevant and not within my location or field of interest. I think that many people would be appreciate something like this.
I like how you want to optimize the current interactive professional networking. I agree with you on the fact that most of the emails we get about jobs are irrelevant. Optimizing the professional networking and with proper filter we can have better chance of finding opportunities.
