Topic:On-Line Profile
Many businesses are recognizing that traditional resumes are becoming outdated or are no longer an accurate way to evaluate potential employees. To get to know
potential employees better, several companies are asking applicants to submit an “on-line, electronic profile.” In addition to searching Google for applicant
background, firms are looking at applicants’ Facebook page, Twitter and Linked-In accounts. Your firm has discovered that the majority of resumes submitted in the past
