My blog is my CV... or not?

(A paper for Glocal 2.0)

Social software in most of its forms is predominately used by young people. This is the case with Macedonia as well. More and more people every day start their own blogs or other social software accounts where they publish information that are easily available to the public.

The same group of people faces the challenge to find a job after graduation – a task that is considered very difficult in a struggling economy. In recent years HR and employment agencies, as well as in house HR departments in big companies, started to play a bigger role in the overall job hunt in Macedonia. More and more people receive job proposals through these agencies and findthemselves in need to meet the demanding conditions of the labor market.

In this pilot research we try to find out whether these two meet and if so what the consequences are. The research was performed through interviews with HR managers in local companies and other professionals whose job is to seek out candidates with a qualified work experience, as well as appropriate background.

We tried to learn if Macedonian labor force recruiters know enough about the emerging social software and do they consider it to be a valuable resource in evaluating people's skills, knowledge, believes and attitudes.

With new generations coming out of University and connecting on the Internet, these issues might prove important. We tried to get a sense of what is the situation today and what is to be expected.
