Web Resumes

Web resumes aren’t for everyone. In fact, only a handful of job seekers (those in high-tech industries such as the Internet, multimedia, design, and software) will find this type of electronic resume useful. Even if you don’t fall into one of these categories, you’ll want to know about web resumes just because they’re really cool.

What is a Web Resume?
It’s a resume that appears on someone’s webpage. And what makes a web resume so special? Because the resume is on a website, it has the magical ability to link to other webpages, giving it a multidimensional effect. For example, take a peek at my web resume.

Emailing Your Web Resume Link
To get an employer to your web resume, you might email him a cover letter that has a website address to your web resume. If the address transfers through to his email software as a link, great, he can just click on that link. If not, he can easily copy and paste the web address into his Internet browser.

Following is an email I wrote with a link to my web resume. Notice the link (with the web address spelled out in parentheses) in the last paragraph of the email, which directs the recipient to my web resume.
