Changing the Way People and Business Communicate

by Walt Carvalho

Your online presence is becoming an issue that is now determining your employment opportunities. It is one of the many ways in which things are changing around us. Human Resource personnel are now searching online to discover talent from such places as Linkedin, Razume, VisualCV, Emurse and Xing to name a few.

If you are in the creative field, you better get to posting! Behance.net hosts many individuals who’s work meets their standards. They display accomplishments from Art Directors, Creatives and Designers. Conventional resumes are sometimes overlooked by those looking for contemporary talent. Sites like Behance.net showcase the experienced as well as the up and coming artists who display a wide range of skills and vision.

If you haven’t noticed yet, we are moving into a mobile society based on digital communication and information. It’s transforming the way we’ve done things for generations, at a pace we haven’t witnessed before. It is no mystery why Apple has had such good earnings this last quarter, since they lead in the mobile communication and information arena. The iPad presents the tablet option, again, ease of use and visibility for the mobile digestion of information.

In comparison, July 20,1969 saw the first manned landing on the moon. That mission, Apollo 11, included an earth launch, a moon landing, a moon launch, three separate orbit paths and a re-entry. Today’s hand held iPhone is more versatile with greater memory than the onboard computer used on that mission.

Many in the business world hold on, waiting for the right time to make their move, at the same time, their competition has been building their online presence to meet the new needs of our changing society. One farmer plants his seeds while the other doesn’t.

The wheels have begun to turn. The new industry is made up of innovation, creativity and ideas. The rapid pace of mobile devices, the apps that run on them and the new experiences these devices enable will only make our world more mobile and informative than it already is today.

It’s time to plant your seeds for the harvest that this new industry will bring!

Get Creative. Get Social.
