Thanks for commenting, Teresa. The multi-media features are what make VisualCV a great way to extend the value of your “paper” resume. Good luck with it. I think you’ll be very happy you took the time to develop a fully fleshed out VisualCV.

Hi Meg,

I just signed up on Visual CV and I am playing around with it. Seems to be a little tricky. But what got my attention was that I was able to add my Video Resume to show possible Employers my Character. It already worked for me on http://www.mayomann.com and I got quite some respond in a short time period. But I wasn’t able to have my own link to add.

Let’s see how Visual CV will do.

Cheers

Hello Trace,

Thanks for your thoughtful comments.

You’re absolutely right that one website alone won’t significantly build search results. It takes a lot of purposeful and focused efforts, and interlinking sites to each other, as you suggest.

First off, congratulations on becoming a Certified VisualCV Creator.

Now I have played with VisualCV since it first launched beta and think it’s a great idea because it’s a lit bit more visually stunning then most and offers a lot of other great features. Unfortunately, I dont like their slogan “Reinventing the resume,” it really turned me off to the service and made it just another template farm for me. Thats like claiming to reinvent the wheel, which is impossible and will never be done.

One site alone will not increase your Google ranking, especially if it is a subdomain, so I recommend to everyone to join as many sites like this as possible and make sure that they’re interlinked in order to increase your chances of being found online.

Hey there, Kristi,

So glad you chimed in. Considering you’re a VisualCV expert yourself, I appreciate your kind words.

You surely got it right — VisualCV is “the way to resume”. I think pretty soon my clients may want, and be wise, to circumvent a paper or Word document resume entirely, in favor of an interactive, alive VisualCV.

Thanks for helping me try to convince people that a VisualCV is a must for Executive Job Search 2.0.

Ciao!
Meg

Meg, this is wonderful! And I sure do love that shiny badge. Haha!!

Seriously, I hope lots of people will hit you up to help them get their own VisualCV. I am convinced this is THE WAY TO RESUME and wish everyone knew about them, because the one page, interactive resume is so much more powerful than a social profile (which have lots of navigation, ads, comments from others and stuff around them.) I use LinkedIn for my business network, but in conjunction with my VisualCV to show people my background in a very professional way. Whether people need a job right now or not, they need a VisualCV. Congratulations on getting certified!
