A recent DWP survey has revealed that one third of businesses now use online resources such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter to help them maximise their knowledge of potential employees.
The speed of technological advancement appears to outstrip the pace of cultural change. Many individuals simply do not realise what effect their online persona may have on their career prospects.
There are always two sides to a story and if we flip the statistic referred to above we find that two thrids of businesses have failed to spot the opportunities presented by LinkedIn and other sites in terms of HR value. There never has been a more relevant time to adopt an attitude of flexibility. Employers must be alive to opportunities. They are coming thick and fast as the speed of technological advancement quickens....that is, coming to those of us who keep our eyes wide open.
If you are not alive to the new horizons, find somebody who is and align with them.
