The Web Resume is a personal website that provides supplemental career background information about the job seeker on a 24/7 basis for interested networking recipients and decision makers. Although not new within the realm of the job search technology arena, this potent resource is rarely utilized as a component as part of one's job search strategy. Intuitively, the average job seeker may have a predisposed notion that it is merely a web page containing a replication of their resume.
In actuality, the appeal of a Web Resume is the flexibility it affords the job seeker to qualify and expand upon career related content from a standard 'basic' resume to a multi-page career 'folio' of the candidate. It complements and amplifies relevant career data which could not reasonably fit within the confines of a standard resume. It clearly is not intended as a replacement of one's resume.
As with any website, the captivation and allure is its flexibility to add new content, pages, and media (that the job seeker deems relevant and inspiring), at their discretion. A 'hyperlink' or 'link' is incorporated within the website and utilized to activate and view any number of vital documents or files. It excels in marketing and promoting one's attributes, skills, achievements, and creativity. It's intended to reflect a highly polished and professional image without getting 'too personal'! Its visual appeal resonates the qualities, and ethics of the job seeker to the reader.
