Dror Gurevich - The Internet of Careers
Today, we examine the ways new technology will change how we manage our careers. My guest is Dror Gurevich, CEO of Velocity Career Labs and the Velocity Network Foundation. During our conversation, you'll hear Dror explain why he set these organisations up and how they'll shape what he calls the Internet of Careers.
We started by discussing some macro trends affecting the way we work before diving into how blockchain technology enables a new method for people to own, share, and manage their career credentials and the economic cost of the inefficient way that they're currently checked. Along the way, we cover how crypto and web3 relate to work and where the Internet of Careers fits in.
Dror also shares some fascinating data illustrating why the concept of CVs is outdated. For me, this is a huge problem that needs to be solved. I've rarely been so excited about the opportunities that I can envisage following a podcast conversation, and I'll share my thoughts about potential use cases with you over the coming weeks and months.
I hope you've enjoyed the fifth series of this podcast. Thanks again to all the guests who have joined me and to listeners for your support. We'll be back in February 2022, and I already have some incredible guests lined up to share their thoughts on the future of work and life. Until then, I hope you all have a chance to relax and refresh before the new year begins.
Cheers!
Ollie
