The future resume

Friday, March 20, 2009 by Jeff Bockelman
I recently read a post regarding "10 Great Sites for Resume Building" (http://mashable.com/2009/03/18/resume-building/).
This post provides some great information for users looking to create a resume. Unfortunately, if you really want to market yourself, spending hours agonizing over how to create a resume that stands out, isn't the best way to spend your time. It's like showing up to a gunfight with a knife, in this age of technology!

Utilizing tools that go beyond a resume, and not only tell a story, but add credibilty and genuineness through the physical documentation and artifacts of your accomplishments is the key. In addition, utilizing video to make your best first impression is also a differentiator. Not video resumes, but brief video introductions... think of it as a mini video job interview.

Anyone who has reviewed hundreds/thousands of resumes to screen employees, knows that very little insight can be obtained from a resume, as compared to a virtual, timeline based career portfolio, along with video introductions. This is the future "resume"........

Check out CareerScribe (www.CareerScribe.com) for a way to WRITE and SHARE your story. It's a free online portfolio service for individuals.

I can't guarantee anyone that CareerScribe will land you a job, but I can guarantee you will get considered over your competition that is just submitting a resume.
