I probably won't be the only one to link to this, but did you hear?
It's true--Diddy is looking for a new personal assistant.
As he explains in the video, instead of resumes, he is only accepting video applications uploaded to YouTube.
Managers in our library system always like to pass along new career opportunities to staff and I have never done that before. So, here's my contribution. Maybe you have what it takes to work for Diddy. Over 600 people have already applied, so get your video in today.
Seriously, using YouTube both as a recruitment tool and also as a method for candidates to contact your organization--that's a pretty novel use of the site, I would say.
Maybe libraries wouldn't go that far, but I like the idea of integrating the use of technology into the hiring process. It is setting up a kind of first-hoop to jump through, if you are looking to recruit a certain type of candidate. One who is either comfortable with technology or, more importantly, unafraid to learn.
BONUS: I couldn't pass up that Diddy video. Hence the post. Originally though, I was going to post this video of Sister Rosetta Tharpe performing a song entitled Up Above My Head. She plays a mean guitar. Check it out. Man, they have everything on YouTube.
