Online Resume

003/365

The idea: An online resume system that scrapes your social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. to get data revenant to where you have worked. This way, your resume is built automatically. Taking the idea further, your places of employment could be visualized on a map. Your jobs could be visualized on a timeline to show details about how long you've worked at a particular place, etc. Your old references would be linked to by their social networks as well so potential employers could easily find them and talk to them.

Interesting things could be done with this depending on the type of profession of the individual. For example, a photographer could have their free-lance work accessed by location on the map or on the timeline. Links from the map or timeline could take a potential employer to a gallery of images taken at that job.
