Things I Can Do - the new generation resume

August 17th, 2006 by Kinan Sweidan

If you work in the HR business, you probably know that finding talented and qualified people is not an easy task. Typical job boards such as monster and dice were designed to provide an electronic searchable resumes. But they didn’t introduce innovative ways to find talented people.

The current resume format is outdated and strict. It doesn’t allow candidates to freely represent themselves and showcase their talent.

I tried to find a solution for this problem by creating Things I Can Do, the website uses tagging and weblog-like profiles to provide users with the right tools to express their skills and knowledge.

Users can create profiles, upload pictures, add skills and tag them with keywords.
They can also rate and add comments to each other�s skills.

The website is still in beta version and It’s due to a major makeover release.

Cade and I are planning on taking this website to the next level by creating a better resume structure. The new release will support more functionalities such as Pod-Casting, RSS feed, Skype integration and Microformats support.

Feedback is appreciated…
