I'd probably have to adjust the maturity level of my profiles since they're geared towards the amusement of my friends, etc.<BR/><BR/>As someone pointed out to me today, I guess the real challenge is getting hiring managers to spend the time looking at these things. Employers like resumes because they can read through a bunch real quick and filter out the winners from the losers.<BR/><BR/>It would be nice if they could acquire a little more patience and dig deeper into a potential hire, but right now I just can't determine how to do the convincing. <BR/><BR/>Another Movement vs Establishment paradox I guess...hopefully we'll adapt and move forward.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for pointing me to this post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
