New York Times career blogger Marci Alboher writes about the trend of more résumés going online. In particular, she links to VisualCV, a site that allows you to create a virtual résumé. The site looks interesting.
As compared to a profile on LinkedIn, it allows you to post much more detail about your work history, including work samples.
The VisualCV makes a traditional resume come alive with video, pictures and a portfolio of your best work samples and other supporting documents. Informational pop-ups provide background data on the companies you’ve worked at and the colleges you’ve attended. You can securely share different versions with your own network of employers, colleagues and friends, and control who sees what.
You can create a very basic VisualCV quickly — this took me less than 5 minutes — but it looks to me like there is room for a lot more information.
