Refreshed list of professions favoured by Australia’s professional / trades migration program, for those who would consider coming over to this wonderful land, or in general, to see the government’s view of the skill shortages landscape in Oz.

The list’s got sentimental value ’cause I came over here under the professional program which is somewhat underpinned by this list. At the time, my (then) profession was ‘preferred’ (economists); that was back in 1990 when the country was experiencing/suffering the recession we had to have. That’s why economists were needed huh…

I have to forgive this guy for moving my cheese. His insights and commentary warrant it. I am moving along though for some reason it’s a pain to get the new feed in the old agregator. You have to stop and assess if you only had the original feed due to inertia and whether it’s smart to re-engage.. anyway.

In any case, this post made me wonder if/when Google would move into storing resumes for subsequent permission-based employer/hirer searches/approaches.

I would envisage it would not be a structured resume builder thing, but a ‘paste your cv here and tag’ it so it be put on the the index grinder, and maybe even offer job seekers with a pretty cv on a web page that could be dolled-up by the user. Maybe blogger users could just put their resume up straight from their blogs if existing already.

Further, you might think the CV info can be canned to produce adwords type services for applicants (as in ‘get my resume in a sponsored link if the metadata tells you that it is an IBM recruiter doing a search) or more likely the other way around (‘show me as an IBM recruiter happy to see adwords that link on candidates cv’s’ – with the subsequent ad revenue flowing to individuals) . Or maybe Google might want to integrate CV’s a la google base as reported

This thing about organising all the world’s information is creepy and exciting

post-note: check peachy’s post; the cv as a subset of your personomy
