Standing out in a day when there are some many people looking for jobs can be difficult. However, there are several ways to standout from the crowd from the competition. One of those ways can be through your resume. If you really want employers to remember you then create a resume that is different from the run of the mill. One such way to achieve this is through an infographic resume. Now not everyone has the ability to design their own but there are several tools to help you achieve a unique resume. Lets look at some tools that you could use to achieve an infographic resume.
Online tools.
The internet is full of great resources to helping you get an infographic resume. Re.Vu, Vizualize.me, and Kinzaa each are online tools that are designed to help you get your resume online. It seems to me that company that is leading the way in this Vizualize.me since they have seem to be a little further along in the development of the site. Kinzaa looks a little more traditional resume just driven by visual bar graphs and pie charts.
Personally I like the ability to have more control over how it looks and creating something that sticks out. So created mine in Illustrator. This allowed me to have some flexibility over the look and feel. You can view my resume here.
Have you used an infographic resume. How has it helped your career? Are you an employer and would you consider an inforgraphic resume over a traditional text driven resume?
