Is a Web Resume for You?
Having your resume on a web site can be a real advantage. For
some, it is just the right tool to say "Hey, I'm up to speed on
technology." So if you are in the computer field or
telecommunications, it's really a must.
I also recommend it for those of you who are heavy into
networking. If you pass out your card at lots of business
functions, put your web resume address right on your card -
you'd be surprised at how intriguing a web address can be.
People just love to travel to a wide variety of sites. You'll be
surprised at how many will travel to your web resume to review
your background - and this can lead to many new contacts.
For executives, the web resume is a wonderful tool. These folks
usually make a lot of phone call contacts when seeking to change
assignments. What better way to start the conversation that to
say, "You know my background, Joe, but just bring up my web
resume for a quick review while we're having our chat......you
can find it at www.xxxxxxx.xxx."
There are no limits on WHO can use a web resume. A lot of it is
up to you. But it certainly is an extra that might just make you
stand out from the crowd of competitors vying for that job you
want.
