Broadening the scope of your digital resume

Over on the Jobster Blog, Brian Fioca takes a look at Broadening the scope of your digital resume:

At Jobster, we’ve always been about hooking people up with their dream job, dream workplace, or dream colleagues.  By filling out a Jobster profile, people are contributing to the network that we’re building to help further their careers - whether it’s using skill tags, job titles, companies, date ranges, and now colleagues, references, and endorsements.  Jobster career networking is another step beyond the resume that allows members to show off the connections they’ve forged, references they’ve secured, the colleagues they’ve had, as well as endorsements from people who thought they were superstars.  With our latest release of Jobster, we’ve added the ability to jump-start your network by fetching your work contacts from your online address books like Gmail, Yahoo!, and LinkedIn.  Are there people you know or have worked with already on Jobster? We’ll show you which ones are already members during the invite process.  By expanding your network, you not only show off your connections, but you also bring more potential for future career matches into the mix for yourself and the people you’ve worked with.  You can also keep up with what’s going on around your network with your news feed, and now directly email members who are in your network.

While we were at it - we finally decided to let you see a history of Jobster members who have visited your profile.  From your personalized home page, you’ll find a link to see the last 50 people who have visited your profile and how long ago they stopped by.  Intrigued by what you see there? Drop them a note, bookmark them so you’ll be notified when they post jobs, or even invite them into your career network with the hopes of getting to work with them in the future.
