Description:

4-29-09 Again, talk of the nation today focusing on using the web and the importance of having a web presence (Linked in, and a more formal web identity). They didn't name ePortfolios, but it's what they were recommending and talking about a lot & promoting "Visual CV". Also check out this piece on the same NPR page: Multimedia Resumes Add Pizazz To Job Search with a description of a SJSU student: "San Jose State University student Josephine Chandra wrote and filmed her online resume for a class. Chandra graduates in May and is hoping her writing and video skills will land her a job. Also on her Web resume is an unnarrated promotional video for the school's career center. When visitors click on Chandra's Web resume, they see a photograph of her smiling, next to her name at the top. There's text on her education and work experience, but also links to PowerPoint marketing campaigns. Some Web resumes even offer instant Web references." (from RC)
