My discovery of Career Player (see today's ealier post) via Twitter has set me thinking a bit.
Although Career Player concentrates on a few main popular careers for graduates - Marketing, Banking, Advertising and Finance - could we be starting to see the introduction of whole careers libraries based on well-produced and informative videos?
There is already a similar product aimed at non-graduates called Careers Box. And, as a writer I'm noticing that Prospects are no longer commissioning many freelance careers updates and reducing the scope of the articles they offer, while jobs4U have currently suspended updates to the careers database for six months.
I wonder if everyone is taking breath before the next generation of careers information - databases of video information heavily sponsored by participating companies?
Is the old-style, publicly funded careers handout, even in its web format, about to die off completely?
Col's Blog has become UOC Careers Blog! It will contain regular contributions from our Advisers at the University of Cumbria Careers Service plus occasional guest contributions. The content is principally aimed at University students and graduates but anyone can feel free to read and comment. Any views and comments expressed are however personal to the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official view of the University.
