Resumes For Dummies, 5th Edition, is a playbook showing you how to tap the
power of amazing new technology to write and use your resumes in search of
a good job.
Technology came to resumes in the early part of a time period — roughly
1994 to 2005 — now called Web 1.0. In 1995, when writing the debut edition of
this work, I explained that resumes were being scanned and read by job computers,
and — imagine this — transmitted over the Internet! The fasten-yourseatbelt
bumps and wonders happening in Web 1.0 were nothing less than a
revolution in the traditional employment process.
Fast forward to right now. Refasten your seat belts and expect surprise after
surprise as Web 2.0 replaces Web 1.0. What we’re dealing with today is a kind
of revolution of a revolution.
