Pre-internet
Back in the day, you jotted down your info on a physical piece of paper, handed it to a recruiter via email or one of those lenghty application forms, and that was it. If you were lucky, you got a response. If not, you had to wait for the next round of applications.
But that was then. Now is now. For the future, we envision that your professional profile is more than just a resume—it becomes a story. And how do you tell that story?
The next generation of work profiles
Things change. As they should. If they didn't, we'd still be using typewriters, cobblestone for roads. You get the idea.
Today, we're happy to introduce the next generation of work profiles—a change that we envision will change how to communicate professional journeys; we believe a person is more than just a resume. And recruiters agree. In fact, more and more organisations facilitate 'Cultural Fit' interviews, where they want to know more about you. Not your work.
If that doesn't tell you all you need to know about the future of the labour market, we're not sure what will.
The important part: Our version of a profile consists of less. Yes. Less. Focusing on other aspects of your story; Where you come frome, what languages you speak, what your interests are, and what you're passionate about, as well as your professional aspirations.
We believe these to be underserved parts of your professional story. It's that makes you, you? Typically, some factors are the ones heavily neglected.
So my resume is dead?
No. Your resume is not dead. Resumes are still important. They're a great way to communicate your professional background and expertise to others. But that's it. You just can't rely on it as the only thing you need to tell your story anymore.
What's next?
We're excited to see how this evolves. We're working on a lot of new features that will make it easier to tell your story.
We're also working on a new way to discover and connect with others on the platform. More on that soon.
