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...

Web resume and e-portfolio

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."
