Great little film this, put together by the Career Player team, looking at “Careers 3.0″ (with a rare sighting of me wearing a suit near the end).
I would have loved to have this to hand at the recent KNOWHOW Graduates skills event we organised with London Borough of Tower Hamlets. What was really quite scary was how little the attendees (all recent graduates) knew about job seeking online - very very few had heard of LinkedIn, and none that I spoke to were aware of sites like WikiJob.
It begs the question - what the heck are university careers officers playing at? The answer, one supposes, is that careers offices are now (like everything else) ‘profit centres’ - meaning lots of sponsored emails from fee paying corporates to select students, very little grounding in the core online networking and brand building capabilities 21C Graduates will need to survive and thrive.
