The following question was posed by Puget Sound Community School’s Steve Miranda in late August-. Should resumes replace school transcripts? It’s a good question, but ultimately the wrong one. We should be asking; What yet-to-be-seen innovation will replace both transcripts and traditional resumes? In a world where jobs and school experiences are becoming less uniform, it makes more sense to find alternative ways to showcase your talents and achievements.
The Internet has changed how we do this. We are no longer limited to telling our stories on sheets of paper—we can use digital portfolios to display our work, which are already starting to replace resumes in the creative and technical professions.
But the problem with such sites is that they serve a niche market of people who can make do without these resources. If you’re both technical and creative, why have a profile on someone else’s site if you can further showcase your talents by creating an independent portfolio of your own?
The most creative and technical among us buy their own domain names and design personal websites that function as portfolios. However, not everyone has the time, money or expertise to do that.
Zerply allows anyone to create portfolios designed using resources by world-class designers. Proven. com takes a skills-based approach to revolutionizing resumes, providing skill verification. From chef to lawyer, Proven certifies your skills before passing your resume to employers. This is great from the perspective of the employer, but it still puts you, the employee, on a very narrow track. Although Linkedln passed 100 million users this year, had a successful initial public offering, and has terabytes upon terabytes of data about users’ work experience, innovation at the company is stagnant, turning your data into a traditional resume. Companies that have terabytes of user data but have not incorporated resume— and portfolio—building into their platform could easily enter the online resume market.
With that in mind, perhaps your personal brand, as cultivated on Facebook and Twitter, makes up a larger piece of the solution than we imagine. What if Facebook enabled your social graph to find you jobs and provide professional social networking? TopProspect, an application built on Facebook, does the former, and BranchOut does the latter. Although neither has gained significant traction, the market opportunity, given the level of Facebook users’ engagement, seems huge.
Your school transcript—particularly if it is from an elite institution—may get your foot in the door, but simply getting a degree isn’t enough. Part of the problem is rampant grade inflation. In 1960, 15 percent of all grades were A’s; today, 43 percent are. Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean we’re getting smarter. Rather, it means that, whether or not you go to college, you must go above and beyond to prove yourself once you graduate.
Which of the following serves as the best title of the passage?
选项
A、Traditional Resumes Are Dying
B、The Large Variety of Resumes
C、Confronted with Grade Inflation
D、Learn to Showcase Yourself
答案
A
解析
