Resume wiki to help job seekers

A resume wiki, where prospective employees can post their resumes, sounds like a great idea to me.



As with many useful and creative ideas, the ResumeWiki flows from the creative blogging mind of my friend Jeremy Wright of Ensight.



A wiki is a community blog where anyone can create a post. In this case, the post would take the form of a standard employment resume.



All job seekers would be allowed to post.



Jeremy describes the ResumeWiki this way:



ResumeWiki is a community edited resume centre. You post your profile (goals, etc) and resume the community of peers will give you comments and possible edits. It is about harnessing the power of lots of eyes to help you get your job. It is kind of like Open Source’ing your resume. Less bugs, more potential, less work for the individual (you).




Should this concept help any bloggers find interesting and rewarding employment, ResumeWiki has performed an admirable service for both employers and potential employees.



Along with the wiki, for posting resumes, the site also includes tips on all aspects of resume writing, to job search, to helpful employment resources.



It's time for career seeking bloggers to update their resumes.



A richly rewarding career might not be too far away.
