These Are The New Rules of Work | Fast Company | Business + Innovation - 0 views

  • The old rules of work applied to an economy of factories and offices, a world of "standard," stable employment with large employers, over careers with more or less predictable trajectories. The new rules belong to another universe—flexible, precarious, and entrepreneurial, less and less tied to specific times, places, and employers.
  • Old Rule: You have a full-time job with benefits. New Rule: You go from gig to gig, project to project.
  • Old Rule: Work is "9-to-5" New Rule: You’re on call 24-7.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Old Rule: You commute into an office every day. New Rule: Work can happen wherever you are, anywhere in the world.
  • Old Rule: Work-life balance is about two distinct, separate spheres. New Rule: For Better Or Worse The Line Between Work And Life Is Almost Entirely Disappearing.
  • Old Rule: You work for money, to support yourself and your family. New Rule: You work because you’re "passionate" about a "movement" or a "cause"—you have to "love what you do."

Examining Zappos's 'No Job Postings' Recruiting Approach - Innovation or Craziness? | ERE - 0 views

  • The new talent community declares the end to job postings and the painful transaction between applying for a specific job and getting a cold rejection. It further offers the opportunity to become “a corporate insider,” where you join the firm’s exclusive “talent community,” made up of interested prospects and applicants. In essence its own social network that the firm can use to keep in touch with applicants over time. It can also use the information that you provide during the increased interactions with recruiters to find the right job for you, even if it’s outside the typical jobs that you would have applied for.
  •  
    Very interesting assessment of Zappo's "no job postings" recruiting--totally different approach to pooling aspirants/"insiders" into groups with individuals providing a lot of information about who they are and what they value along with experience and credentials--ready for automated key word search and recruiters' attention.
