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.

Jia’s newest post about the original story: Intern 2.0

Comment this story on Friendfeed.com: A brand called Jia: how to use slideshare to get an intern job?

The web is turning to next level for connecting people and information. Social network websites are connecting cyber-life and real life. I am also thinking on a new trend on social graph of social network websites.

People are currently talking on Individual Social Graph, but I am thinking on Group Social Graph which should be the next big thing.

People have more ID in many different social network websites. A website doesn’t know people’s friends on B website, that’s a current problem of current Web. Many guys believe there is a great way to solve this problem.

Some websites have new features to let users input data from other websites by open APIs and RSS feed. We can mash up our dispersive personal data from multiple websites to create our integrated identity.

But I notice it is difficult to mash up group’s data from multiple websites. Many Web2.0 websites have Groups feature which let people discuss on issues and follow the rule of the group. Some websites provide RSS feed for the discuss thread of group. But a Group’s RSS feed in A website couldn’t be use inside a Group on B website. Let me try to point out the difficulties of the matter. There are obvious limitations on the Group feature of many websites. The creator and administrators of Group have limited power to promote growth of the group. There are not a data interface for input RSS or other data at a Group page on many websites. Users can’t customize the sidebar of Group like they do well on their blogs. In fact, there is not sidebar at Group page……

I believe that phenomenon should evolve. We should push Group Social Graph which could create Group Identity by mash up dispersive data in new level environment in the future.
