Modern job seekers enjoy the benefit of many useful tools and resources to aid them in their search. From social media and online job boards to professional recruitment agencies, there are so many new things to try to expand your network and help you stand out. As you experiment with these new resources, it can be easy to forget the important role a resume still plays in your job search. In addition to the fact that your resume is mandatory for most employers (and is one of the necessary items to help get your foot in the door), it is also a useful tool to help organize your experience and define your personal brand. . The best approach is to leverage your resume in parallel with your other job search efforts. Here are some ways to get your resume working in sync with whatever you're doing to find a job.
1. Include links to your social media profiles on your resume
Job seekers use a variety of methods to accomplish this. One way is to include a social media section on your resume. Most of the time, this section is at the end of the resume. Other job seekers include social media profiles with your contact information at the top of the page.
2. Link to your online portfolio
Some people use LinkedIn as an online portfolio, but there are other websites that serve as portfolios for creatives, entrepreneurs, and specialists in one branch or another. If you have an online portfolio, link to portfolio items on your resume. This is particularly effective if you post your resume online anywhere.
3. Post your resume online
Speaking of online resume posting, you can upload your resume to your personal website, your LinkedIn profile, and other sites, such as job search websites, where potential employers can find you.
4. Brand your resume to resemble your online publishing assets.
One sure way to stand out from the crowd is to use design as a branding element in all of your online publishing assets. This includes your website, your social media accounts, and your resume. Rather than just creating a bland black and white resume, if you post it online, bookmark it for easier recognition and credibility.
Your resume is still an important part of your job search strategy. Make it more effective by making sure it works with all of your online job search methods.
