Conducting job interviews online has got to be one of the most cost-effective developments brought about by information and communications technology. As last week’s lecture has shown us, interviewees in far-flung communities need not leave their hometowns in order to find out if the jobs that they are eyeing in the capital region or abroad are a good fit with their skills and competencies. All they need to do is sit in front of a computer and in a few seconds discussions with their prospective employers are already underway.
In the US, big companies that have invested heavily in fancy videoconferencing systems are reaping the benefits in terms of reduced business travel expenses. A small group of road-weary consultants forming part of an informal network linked mostly by videoconferencing technology have maximized the proliferation of cheap or free social networking tools like podcasts, wikis, and computer video and teleconferencing systems like Skype.
The widespread application of these tools in the administration and governance of our country of 7, 107 islands could help solve the perennial problem of budget constraints. The savings in terms of time and reduced air travel expenses will hopefully translate into higher productivity and improved leadership.
