Show HN: A Network of Knowledge Feeds
Hi Everyone, I wanted to talk to this community about a particular
story from my experience to see how the community feels. I have
noticed that I have a lot of educated friends from top universities
in my country who are having problems finding work due to a lack of
experience, which has brought me to a conclusion that diplomas and
CVs are not really good at conveying the knowledge someone has. A
friend of mine who is already working on his own company told me
that he had trouble finding people to work for him, so I thought
about an idea that I am currently incorporating into my app.
Perhaps we could make it much easier for you to show your knowledge
to companies, as easy as show and tell. A network of live knowledge
feeds that constantly keep updating over time showing how someone
has evolved. If you know something, put it on full display for
everyone to see, show something you have made and explain how you
made something so that everyone can understand. If you are good at
something, you probably won't have a hard time explaining it to
others, and other people could perhaps learn something by simply
following your feed. Educational Institutions have curriculums
that aren't really adaptable, but if we rely on people expressing
their unique knowledge to the world, we can create countless
combinations of curriculums that will be much more adaptable for
the problems we have to face today. I will be trying this approach
with some friends over the coming days. My friends are looking for
graphic designers, software engineers and music producers. They
have established brands and are going to ask people who want to
work with them to submit something they made and explain how they
did it for everyone to see. You are welcome to join us at EWS
(https://edify.ws/club/10). If this sounds like a good idea, maybe
we can kick off a challenge that you can share with your friends to
#ShowWhatYouKnow. If you have a company, are looking for employees,
maybe you can ask people to show something they made and explain
how they made it to see whether someone has the knowledge required
to work for you.
