Make Your Owned Web 2.0 Resume

The New York Times provided a post, The Web 2.0 Résumé. Recently, most people think that Web 2.0 Résumé is Video Résumé. But in that post, it does not talk about Video Résumé, it is about real social media resume. It means that someone set up a website, he put everything into this website, such as posts he wrote, posts he Digged, something from his Twitter.

 

In this post, a sentence is very impressing me. That is young people cannot clear their work in the Web 2.0. It means if your future boss wants, he can use Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to try to find any information about you. So is the Web 2.0 resume good for seeking employment? People want to hide their actions more than put in the resume.

 

This kind of resume is useful and helpful for applying a job.

 

We can see some example about Web 2.0 Resume.

 

First example is Christ Penn’s Resume. He used Google Page to make his social media resume. This is very simple webpage. In the left side, you can see some work he did.

 

Next example is Rohit Bhargava’s Resume. In the bottom, we can see his del.icio.us tags. He wants to show which kind of tags he is interesting in.

 

See the examples given above. They are not real employment seekers. They just show how can make Web 2.0 Resume. If you want, make a Web 2.0 resume by yourself.

A funny music video about Web 2.0

This is a very funny music video about Web 2.0 bubble.

Lyrics：

there’s absolutely no bubble in technology.
got me a cs degree honor roll, MIT
moved to palo alto opportunity knocked
thought I had the perfect plan took a job at webvan
traded in my twenties for a worthless pile of tech stock
suffered through the market crash lost a giant wad of cash
pink slips, burger flips would you like some fries?
happy days are here again larry page, sergey brin
time to write a business plan so I can be like those guys!
here comes another bubble
it’s a monster rally all around the valley
first you need a buzzword then a second and a third
pick at least two industries you’ll revolutionize
find yourself an engineer feed him pizza, buy him beer
give him just a fraction of a fraction of the pie
need a good domain name must be cheap, can’t be lame
something cool like flickr, meebo, wikiyou, mahalo, bebo
“telephone” without the “t”
“digg” but with a triple “g”
make your elevator pitch code it up and flip the switch
here comes another bubble
the VCs are backing bady let’s get cracking
blog blog blog it all blog it if it’s big or small
blog at the Cineplex blog while you’re having sex
blog in the locker room babies blogging in the womb
blog even if you’re wrong won’t you blog about this song?
launch party, nicely dressed what’s the point? Sausage fest
blue shirts, khaki pants looking like a line of ants
need to get a facebook page all these guys are half my age
twenty nine, past my prime I feel so behind the times
here comes another bubble
in a year we swear we’ll all be billionaires
make yourself a million bucks partly skill, mostly luck
now you can afford a down payment on a small house
if you want a bigger one hillsborough, atherton
better hope the same thing happened to your spouse
IPO…lucky you have your cake and eat it too
private yacht, party jet why not buy a matching set
build yourself a rocket ship blast off on an ego trip
can this really be the end? back to work you go again
here comes another bubble
and when we are gone this will still go on
and on and on and on and on
and on and on and on and on

What is Web 2.0?

What is Web 2.0?

What is Web 2.0? This is a new technical expression. It is the use for World Wide Web (WWW) technology. Web 1.0 is the use for the most websites. It is normal and rarely unchangeable website. A lot of people think Web 2.0 is a new standard of technology. Actually, it is not. O’Reilly Media gave a example to describe this word. If DoubleClick is Web 1.0, Google AdSens is Web 2.0. If Ofoto is Web 1.0, Flickr is Web2.0.

In October 2005, O’Reilly Media mentioned that the differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0.

And then they also said the Web 2.0 websites typically include some of the following features/techniques:

‧Cascading Style Sheets to aid in the separation of presentation and content

‧Folksonomies (collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing, and social tagging)

‧Microformats extending pages with additional semantics

‧REST and/or XML- and/or JSON-based APIs

‧Rich Internet application techniques, often Ajax-based

‧Semantically valid XHTML and HTML markup

‧Syndication, aggregation and notification of data in RSS or Atom feeds

‧mashups, merging content from different sources, client- and server-side

‧Weblog-publishing tools

‧wiki or forum software, etc., to support user-generated content
