THIS is the future of the CV / Resume
In 2011, I produced my first infographic CV, it was pretty unique back then and made some waves in the market. An update in 2013 prompted more than 11,500 downloads in just 9 months. Today it’s had more than 67,500 views on my blog and tens of thousands of views on other sites such as socialmediatoday.com
Things move on, technology improves and the way we brand and position ourselves should move on too. Welcome to my new CV.
I can now view personalised analytics on who's looking at which pages, how long they are there and how they are engaging with the content. It also provides stats on who's sharing the content and on which social channels. I have the option of integrating with social networks, polling my audience and even getting them to sign up for more information or updates.
Personally, I think this approach could re-shape the recruitment industry, one which has struggled to adopt modern content marketing practices and still relies heavily on Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF's. The infographic was great, but it required specialist skills to produce, I used a blend of InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator to create mine. This however was produced in just over an hour. From start, to finish.
Does this interactive, engaging format provide a brighter future for the recruitment industry and personal branding? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

8 年Love it! I hope the future of recruitment IS as bright as your online CV! I think this really does reflect people's creativity - and in the digital marketing/traditional marketing industry aren't we all about getting noticed?

10 年If a CV is worth reading a recruiter will look at a CV for longer than 20 seconds I know I would. I think this format is great for specific role types but may not be suitable for all. I would also be curious to know how well it works with jobboards and ATS's
