Using a web based resume and personal profile
Posted by Ric Ward on March 19, 2007
Every job seeker needs a web based resume.
A web based resume is a necessary tool in your job search toolbox in addition to your email ready resume and your print resume…and of course a text based resume for easy posting to job boards.
Publishing a resume on the Web is advantageous in a number of ways:
- Employers can access your resume 24 hours a day - 7 days a week.
- You can quickly refer a recruiter or potential employer to your web resume during an impromtu phone conversation.
- You can provide a link to your online resume on your job search business card.
- Web published resumes are readily found by employers using resume spider technology to find passive resumes
- A web based resume enables you to include links to work samples (written work, graphic design, other Web pages you’ve designed, photographs, reports, etc.) that can demonstrate your skills to employers.
Here is a sample of a web based resume and personal portfolio available at IT Headhunter.net and JobsWorkCareers.com.
