Is the Resume Dead?

I was recently invited to write a guest post on the Albany Times Union blog to discuss the future of the resume. Some people are predicting the demise of the paper document in favor of online tools such as LinkedIn profiles. I don’t see it that way and my prediction is that hiring authorities will continue to expect resumes delivered in traditional text formats. 

However, I do think that hiring managers will become more responsive to the rich media options available to uncover additional information about candidates and LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Visual CV, and others will continue to gain acceptance and momentum as part of the hiring process.
