The Cloud Will Kill The Resume, And That?s a Good Thing

I was recently going through an old banker?s box that I packed up years ago while I was cleaning out my office. There was a Palm Pilot, a mini cassette recorder, and even a stack of floppy disks. It was like a time capsule of obsolete technology. All I needed were a few Polaroid pictures and a beeper to make my time travel complete.?In one of the file folders, I found about a dozen resumes that I had wanted to keep and in another there was a bunch of printed product brochures from various vendors. Every gadget I found in that box had evolved or been replaced by some new innovation. ?Even the non-gadgets like printed product brochures have been replaced by websites that can present information in much richer context. ?Only the folder of resumes stood out as the unchanged medium. It baffles me how the lifecycle of so many products and business processes can be extremely short and are so easily disrupted by innovation, yet an individual?s resume is still a one or two page document.
