Get job a doing an Online Resume today - By: tony dudelives

I just finished posting what has to be my 150th online resume for yet another happy customer that is job hunting. As a manager of a website, I know that there are several things that are extremely important to consider when crafting an good online resume no matter where or how it is listed. Please you must continue to read on as I share some valuable pointers with you.

Granted, not everyone wants or really should have their resume posted online for all the world to see it. However, if you are seeking a very good public position – and I don’t know too many more jobs that are much more public than that of a politition – then having some information about you online is not only very smart, but critical to your finding work.

Name and Contact Information You always must include your first and last name and at least one email address for contact purposes. Never ever include your home address and if you decide to share one of your phone numbers think long and hard about that too. A cell phone is better for anonymity purposes as a home phone number could reveal things to someone where you live. Who wants to deal with that sort of crazy hassle? Better yet, a real crazy creep could end up stalking you! Job Information No, you don’t have to name the all the companies who employed you or even the specific dates. General information is very helpful; you can always indicate somewhere on your resume that additional information will be forwarded to the prospective employers upon a request.

Education/Training You should let them know if you are current with all of your needed training, and who trained you, certificates awarded, etc.

References Never ever list another person’s name online for any resume! Even on hard copies of your personal resume, references should be left off and then submitted separately upon a request.A PictureHey, if you are very beautiful or very handsome, why should you not list your picture? Well in Europe, you including one head shot and one full body shot with your personal resume is a generally accepted normal practice. But not so here in the US, but it can be useful to do. Have the or a webmaster crop your picture if needed and put in the place as a thumbnail. When people click on your personal thumbnail, your full sized picture will then appear.

Beautiful CSS What makes any personal resume rock, besides just the content and the picture, is the way it looks. Have your guru web person create your personal resume using corporate style sheets for the best looking and most highly professional resume copy possible. Make sure that the resume colors don’t overpower the content. Black or navy font is normally acceptable; Arial, Trebuchet, and Verdana type faces are best for a resume.

Sure, no personal resume can guarantee that you will get a job or even secure a work interview for you. At the very least, an personal online resume is your own personal marketing campaign to sell your own name to as many people as possible for work. Name repetition in the form of your personal resume and good picture speaks volumes and opens mamy more doors than you can possibly imagine.
