Its recession time and people find it hard
to push their resumes above competitors. This
is where Social media resume or SMR comes
to your aid. This can be also termed talking
resume. This is created with video, MP3 and
helps present you in an attractive manner.
Instead of speaking through text you can actually
explain your achievements and capabilities.
This terminology was first coined by Christopher
S Penn last February. The sample appeared
in Google Pages.
The greatest advantage of SMR is the multimedia
aspect. You can paint your resume with attractive
colors and make it more appealing to help
the prospective employer visualize you in
a better light. What
a hundred words cannot do, few expressions
can achieve. You can also attach video and
photographs of your success and also ask
for audio testimonial from your previous
employers. Websites like wordpress.com and
googlepages.com can give you an idea of
how to create SMR.
