More online resumes coming soon from Africa
Did you know that only 30.8 million (4%) of Africans have internet access? I am sooo glad to see initiatives like this taking place. More people online (I think) means more resumes online; its just a matter of time.

A technology conference aims to find ways to connect 80 percent of Africa’s population to the Internet and telephone services.
The meeting which opened on Sunday brings together ministers, regulators, company executives and high-level officials from various development agencies to discuss the technological divide that has been blamed for the slow pace of economic progress in Africa.
Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, the chief executive of Commonwealth of Telecommunications Organisations (CTO), described the conference as bringing together high quality speakers and delegates.
“Participants in this conference are those who have come to acknowledge that challenges that the global community faces in the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) sector, that of connecting Africa’s rural populations, are surmountable.”
The conference is envisaged to significantly contribute to the development of universal access to ICT in the African region.
