A brand called Jia:An INTERN 2.0 story powered by RESUME 2.0

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

I just now read Jia’s new post about her experience of looking for intern job through a unique social media website Slideshare.net

It is a great story that I have been following from 1.0 to 2.0 :)

A brand called Jia 1.0
7 months ago

Jia said the story about the first slideshow:

I uploaded my first PPT resume 4 months ago to Slideshare and was excited to see so many downloads and comments here. My friend Minmin got inspiration from my ppt and did her own. It was great to know that both of ours are selected into Spotlight section here. 4 months past and my life changed a little. Now I updated a new version of the resume and hope you will like it as well.

In fact, she got the first intern through the first slideshow resume. She was doing the intern of Assistant Marketing Manager at Nuovomedia Laboratories, Boston, she honed her research skills in a business setting, accumulated real world knowledge on marketing, and contributed insightful strategies during team meetings. Her boss recommended her as a great find on Linkedin.

Jia updated her A brand called Jia 1.0 ppt resume and uploaded it 2months ago.It attracted more traffic as well as feedback. But that’s it, story seems ends:)

Not yet,the story continued… Jia told us the other half story at the new post:

Until one day in April, I got an email from Doug, one of the directors at PJA, that if I’d like to go there and talk for a possible internship. Puzzled? It turned out that he came across my ppt which was featured on slideshare’s frontpage back to then. After checking out the agency website, I was really excited because I almost went out for a on-campus co-op job fair with limited attending companies which could align with my interests. …So, I replied, made appointments, went for three round interviews, talked to five people at the agency, and finally received the email extending a three-month offer to me.

Jia got the intern job again, it is an exciting story that how people use slideshow as social media tool to spread personal brand,improve social capital,and make advantage of career.That is INTERN 2.0 powered by RESUME 2.0.

Long tail cyber-man: syndicate the long tail of time and energy from people

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

May 18, I talked with Mr. Leo Cheng (links to his Chinese blog)who is a social psychologist on Skype.

Leo is a professor of Zhongshan University of Guangdong. We know each other through Internet and met each other on April 1 in Guangzhou when we joined Psychology Business Conference. We made voice chat for one hour.

Psychology Business Conference (see more photos)

I was speaking on The Business model of Psy-Business. If you want to download my presentation (Only in Chinese), you could click the link below:
www.swordi.com/download/psybusiness2007.ppt

He wrote an article called The long tail cyber-man: syndicate the long tail of time and energy from people. (links to the Chinese article)

This article gives an overview of Pro-Ams make cooperation through single cyber identity in Internet.

He said everyone has more faces such as proper job and amateur activities. Everyone has his own strong and weak points. Everyone has more kind of skills. Everyone has dream which couldn’t realize in real life but they has more time.

If people live in Internet, they should be Pro-Ams - people pursuing amateur activities to professional standards. People will create their cyber identity and find their other self.

He said there is a way to make a cyber-man which many people play a role. People donate time and skill and knowledge together into a cyber-man who has own website, blog, e-mail address, IM account and SNS profile webpage, and expend own social networks in Linkedin.com

It is interesting thing. The cyber-man will play a role as a tutorship and provide non- Profit service for small city. The cyber-man will play many of roles.

We talked on many topics below:

- Which size of people could incubate a cyber-man?

- Is it time to create cyber-man?

- Is social activities website good platform to make Pro-Ams together and incubate cyber-man?

- What is social activities website? PledgeBank.com or Yeeyan.com?

- Which kind of cyber-man will be incubates in first stage?

- When people play a role, how to create uniform Identity clearly?

- How do people use single IM account in same time when they play a cyber-man?

I believe it is a cool research project with great vision and huge imagination. Leo has huge passion on it. He is finding some collaborator to practice his idea.

This a story about NPOs culture in China. I know other friends do other things. They try to use web2.0 tools to help their NPOs project expanding quickly. People also begin to practice in some unconventional field. Someone is thinking on social enterprise and take action.
