... One of
the following creations could carry your message with
style.
PDF resume
"'PDF' really stands for
portable document format,
but a document using this format comes to readers looking
pretty darned fine —
exactly the way you sent it...
... PDF resumes have experienced a recent
surge in popularity. They are particularly attractive to
recruiting professionals who spend hours and hours in front of
a computer reading coma-inducing ASCII text resumes."
Web resume and e-portfolio
"Web resumes — also called HTML resumes —
are electronic documents posted on a personal Web site,
permitting easy transmission to links of information that
flesh out your basic resume facts — samples of your work, for
instance... Companies that pride
themselves on being "cutting edge" or... individuals in
engineering, architecture, art, or modeling, and when you're
working as a free agent... Institutions of
higher education everywhere have grown enthusiastic about the
portfolio concept as a job-hunting tool to give employers a
big picture of who their students are."
Beamers
"A beamer — or beamable resume —
is a quick version of your resume read on a personal
digital assistant (PDA) or wireless handheld device or
digital phone... "Beam me up" takes on whole new shades of
meaning."
Talkers
"The Brits, don't you know, started the
talking streak to transform the resume into a multimedia
version with voice and video. Known more formally as the
talking CV (curriculum vitae), there isn't much
difference between the talking CV software model and a video
online job interview... This format could take off when broadband online
service (Internet technical capacity) becomes widely
available."
Flash
"Reflecting the ultimate in animated
movement and rock-concert audio, this resume product is made
possible by Flash software... The Flash model isn't for bankers or
accountants, but it could net you a job as a Web or club
designer... Creative specialists... or virtually any enterprise requiring
inventive thinking could find a flash of excitement to be just
what the bored recruiter ordered."
