Ryan Paugh Are profiles the new resume? Check out this post that I found this morning on ERE: http://bit.ly/c16fQz Do you agree with the author? In 20 years, could online profiles completely extinguish the need for a traditional resume? Could it maybe happen sooner?

Tony Deblauwe: More so we see the brief profile before seeing the full resume. Saves time, provides a better snapshot, and leads to go or no-go actions.

Needless to say, I have an interview and the individual found my website/profile enjoyable. If profiles do become such, people will have to work to create new ways to set themselves apart. Here's mine: mschandler.tk (for teaching).

Ryan Paugh Are hiring managers going too far with reference checks? I just read an article on MSNBC that blew me away (http://bit.ly/qwHU0). It's no surprise that they're referencing Facebook and LinkedIn pages, but calling unauthorized references seems nuts! What do you guys think? Are there any ethical considerations that should be made when doing a reference check?

And as far as the internet goes, make sure you're careful with your use of FB and other social networking sites - you don't want that picture of some drunk guy motorboating you to come back to haunt you so don't put it on facebook!

Where organizations short-cut is they don't give the person the opportunity to explain a bad reference. But when you're dealing with 75 resumes for one position... I think the bottom line is people need to manage their social networks.

Melanie Monek A new trend that I have seen popping up is training via online video games. Some of the larger corporations are having huge success with it and it’s something I have pitched to our CEO. Have any of you used or developed this type of training?

It becomes a little difficult to sometimes manage where all the bits of information reside, so I decided to create a post on the blog to capture everyone's great ideas. If you are so inclined to include your voice there http://wp.me/pw2yu-FD, I would be grateful.I just posted it in a number of LinkedIn Groups and look forward to seeing how the trend develops.

From an applied perspective I'm interested in not only how to select out folks with a proclivity to demonstrate these behaviors but how to successfully manage them.

I think it can be really useful when you equate social media to an idea that is familiar to people that are really set in their ways.

Bryan Baldwin: One place to try if you haven't already are vendor websites (e.g., Yammer). They often have business cases pretty much prepared for you!

Adriana Dwan Do you guys have any advice for a recent I/O Psych MA grad wanting to get into HR? Most of my experience deals with survey creations, data analysis, and some recruiting. I'm planning on taking PHR exam in May 2010 so that I can have a good HR foundation. Any tips?
