I discovered Somewhere yesterday, a new platform (only requesting invitations at this stage) that aims to help people “show the world what they do and how they work.”
“In the new way of working, work isn’t a place you go, it’s a thing you do. It is you. We are — to a great extent — shaped and defined by how we choose to spend our time, the work we take on because we are called to it.” – Gigaom
New platforms are required to communicate ‘what we do’ to prospective employers – with more and more people taking on passion projects and collaborating with people outside of their company’s walls, the standard resume format we have been accustomed to manicuring no longer captures the scope of our work.
@somewhere It’s difficult to ‘show’ your passion on LinkedIn – & passion is central to #futureofwork @marketingveep @AmyL_Bishop @stoweboyd

#newnew work is defined by passion, interests, and people more than roles and company affiliation.
