This is the last Required Reading of the week, and while it could have been nothing but Demi Moore, instead there is a look into the job market and the surprise that the protests in Egypt began more than a year ago.
The end of the resume?: The Wall Street Journal's Rachel Emma Silverman reports that some companies are no longer accepting resumes from job applicants. The businesses are instead choosing to use other ways to assess potential employees.
Silverman: "A resume doesn't provide much depth about a candidate, says Christina Cacioppo, an associate at Union Square Ventures who blogs about the hiring process on the company's website and was herself hired after she compiled a profile comprising her personal blog, Twitter feed, LinkedIn profile, and links to social-media sites Delicious and Dopplr, which showed places where she had traveled."
Egypt bans Americans from leaving: The new military government of Egypt has stopped six Americans from leaving the country, including the son of the U.S. transportation secretary. The U.S. government is frantically urging the Egyptians to allow these people to return home freely. This news comes on the one-year anniversary of the beginning of the protests that led to the ousting of then President Hosni Mubarak last year.
