OK, we know there's plans for a Google OS based on Chrome, and we're going to be hearing about for a year or so until it actually comes out. There's going to be a lot of speculation, analysis, and theorizing done all over the internet.
Far be it from me, of course, to not do my own overblown analysis. So here's where I see the Chrome OS going and what it means.
The Job search changed. We know that. We hear about it. We're probably sick of hearing it.
We've also heard that Job Searches are different because of social media. We're also probably sick of that.
So I'm going to discuss both these things. Chalk it up to the two-wrongs-make-a-right approach.
One of my biggest advantages in my career was the fact that I got a home computer early in life.
That meant I could use job search sites back when they were just evolving, or send faxes over the modem. It meant I could train myself on software and in coding whenever I wanted. it let me build resumes and skills.
Now, years later (fifteen or sixteen to be precise), the home computer is nearly omnipresent, but one fact hasn't changed: the technology in your household can be a career advantage.
