End of the resume, rise of the super user

David SparkWhether you’re looking to get hired, or you’re looking for A+ talent, you want to be seen as or want to be looking for super users.

This 14-minute live presentation was given at the Dice event at The Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif. In the presentation I explain the super user model and give examples of how companies have found, built relationships with, and hired super users.

What do you think? Do you think the 8 ½ x 11 paper resume has any future in the age of social media? If you want to get hired, become a super user. Attach yourself to a brand and/or industry. Create, share, and build relationships with industry members and other super users. And if you’re a company looking for talent, look to super users. They’re highly visible and passionate. You’ll find they’re an excellent source for marketing, staffing, and business development.David Spark helps businesses grow by developing thought leadership through storytelling and covering live events at Spark Media Solutions.
