Mash-Up my Career

So, I read this article today about how you can use technology/sites to map your life history.

I like this idea - overlay your life on a map of places you have visited, schools you attended, where you have lived etc add relevant content, photo's, links to friends etc

Instead of carving your name on a tree (maybe with another name, date and a heart around it) you can create your life history in a dynamic, visual and interactive way - a 3G biography - a personal diary or history.

Surely this is the future of logging your career experience? - a digital, real-time, resume: charting your work history, where you have worked, who you have worked with and examples of campaigns, clients, innovations you have worked on etc? An interface that will bring this to life.

A digital Career portfolio.

Is this the service that job boards can offer to ensure they are still a valid and relevant avenue for future candidates and employers?

An evolution of sites such as LinkedIn?

Surely it is.

Looks like the career mash-up has started.

I guess the creative industry is the natural industry to start showcasing/merging your professional portfolio with your career aspirations.
