Should You Write an Interactive Resume?
A resume lives in two dramatically difficult dimensions: on the monitor and on a piece of paper. I am amazed at how few people take advantage of this distinction. Most everyone knows how to put together a good print resume but how many use the cornucopia that is available through their resume on the screen?
Here is a perfect place to embed objects that will lead the reader to write ups or citations about you or your product. With Flickr being so easy to use, why not show examples of your products, displays, logos or print ads. Consider posting your creative reel on YouTube. If the site you created or revised for the client is still up, refer the reader to there! It’s all real time. All the world is interactive today. Why not allow the reader of your resume to virtually interact with you?

I love the ‘should you create an interactive resume’ post. I was wondering if you could critique mine to see if it is what you had in mind when you were writing about the issue. I have a vested interest in interactive resumes and want to create them for others, but don’t know if what I have created is good enough.Will you please take your expertise to my interactive resume and give me some feedback? In return I will create for you an interactive resume of your own (if you like it).The link to my resume is:http://customelearningllc.com/resume/player.html You can reach me at ajgage@gmail.com or at 336.687.1934Thanks,AJ
