Reflection 9

WHAT?

My roommate is graduating this year; she has been searching tirelessly for jobs and has had countless numbers of interviews. It seems that times are changing and technology is advancing in terms of job searching.

SO WHAT?

I noticed that every application she filled out has been online. Even her resume had to be either attached or typed in a provided box. It used to be that you went to the actual company to hand in your application and resume. Then, the system became a bit more advanced with the use of email. Some applicants would then attach their resume and application to an email for speedy processing.

NOW WHAT?

Now, application processes are highly advanced. You must be able to have access to a computer (which doesn’t seem too hard these days anymore…just hit up the local library). I love that you do not even have to go to the company to grab a resume. It is right there online at the company’s website for your convenience. I am interested to see what school districts expect for the application process.
