Story 1: Apply Online Vs. CV

For my story 1 i have decided to research how people feel about the move from the days of handing in a CV in person and having sit down face to face interviews to the modern days of applying online and having Skype interviews.

I have always preferred handing in CV’s in person, however it is becoming increasingly difficult to do so, and that is what has inspired me to do this story. I wanted to research how other people feel about how the internet and technology is changing the world we live in.

I am aiming this story to the younger generation, to the generation, that have only ever known applying online, the generation that is taught in school how to fill out applications, instead of how to create a respectable CV.

I decided to tell this story through a mix of all different media platforms, as it is difficult for a lot of people to stay interested in a specific topic without loosing interest, therefore i felt this would be the best to keep them interested for a longer period of time. I also decided to use the multimedia platform to show a variety of opinions, sit down interviews with people being recorded, social media posts/screenshots and also, just audio. So that the audience can decide what they thought was the best way of telling this story, using the story itself to subconsciously tell the audience which interview style they prefer.

My main difficulties with this task was trying to find enough sources, i would have preferred to have had a second or third audio recording along with more social media posts. I am happy however that i had all original sources for this story.
I didn’t encounter any ethical difficulties with this story, however technical issues, consistently rose higher and higher. This was due to the software not running smoothly and lag on the server. I addressed this by contacting the IT department and being patient.
