Visual CV

Resume 2.0


I have long wondered how long we would struggle with archaic ideas such as paper resumes and job boards. A few months back I received a Beta test invite for Visual CV.

I waited longer than usual to try it out...but wow. This is a much better way of sharing information. Forget about the slow process of multiple interviews just to be considered for the "short list." This program allows you to build a digital CV with great layout. You can then add video, audio, photos and documents with ease.

It even supports Youtube and Google video usage. Check out my CV here.

Why use a visual CV? Well, it's a great way to promote yourself, your skills, your company or organization. There is tremendous ease of use when it comes to sharing your CV with others. There is even a link to send it directly to companies, which includes recruiters, and individuals. It's a great networking tool.

Now go give it a try for yourself.
