Creative Ways to Showcase Your Resume?

Apr 11, 2014

I keep seeing nice graphic resumes like these I found here. I was wondering if you have any ideas for showcasing your resume to really make it an attention-grabbing stand-out? (And have you done it yourself?)

It wouldn't have to replace a standard resume, but would be great to have in addition to the standard - plus it would be fun to share and show off online.

Do you know anyone who's built theirs in Storyline or the equivalent?

Thanks so much, Bruce, Alex, and Nancy! I'm glad we're all on the same page.

So what can I get for my points? (I'm very excited.)

Have just read through this entire post with great interest. I love the idea of presenting ourselves creatively using the tools we use to design material. What better way to showcase what you can do?

Yes - there will always be a need to use the "standard boring Word doc resume" but having a link to your graphic/creative resume is a great way to show off your skills. It's all about personal branding these days so why not take the time to put together a portfolio?

Photographers do it - why shouldn't we (eLearning Designers)?

I know what I'll be working on in my spare time now....

Uh oh. This is such a nice idea, but the mind reels at having to do my own. (Ack!)

That's (yet another reason) you're here, David. You're great at nudging us to do more.
