Launching 'Web Resume' - An Innovative Way to Highlight Your Talents

    SUNSHINE COAST, AUSTRALIA, December 18, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- An Australian career consultant with years of experience helping people across the globe to write effective resumes has combined her extensive expertise in the employment industry with web design skills to create Web Resume, reportedly a world first in the job search space.

Trudy Byrnes has just launched her company's new website at www.resumecreator.com.au where Web Resume is expected to break new ground in 2015 and beyond. Trudy recalls that long before her entry into the world of career consulting, people actually sent their paper resume in the mail to apply for jobs. Imagine that! What a relief that email came along where we can send a resume instantly, but has this increased our chances of getting that job? In a fierce job market Trudy thinks not. As she begins to explain a new way of getting the attention of prospective employers she asks "If your resume is just like the rest then how do you stand out from the competition?"

Having your own website to present your unique resume is the next logical step up from the resume format of the past where your only choice was to highlight your skills and abilities by the written word. Trudy points out the text only resume is one dimensional, whereas the innovative idea of a Web Resume can use multi-media like video, images and sound in addition to text to draw attention to your talents. This is akin to having your own attractive online portal where you can send a web link to prospective employers and even have it password protected if you like. You can upload such things as employment testimonials, educational assessments, a photo gallery or examples of projects you have undertaken. There's practically no limit to what you can include in your Web Resume and you can even promote it on social media in just one click.

Trudy has a tip for all job seekers: "Imagine it's 4 o'clock of a Friday afternoon and the hiring manager has already glanced at 40 resumes and yours is next. How is your resume going to pass the snooze test? How are you going to get the attention of the hiring manager to call you in for an interview?"

At www.resumecreator.com.au all Web Resume packages include a unique domain name of your choice that is owned by you and registered in your name. You will have full website hosting and the ability to upload additional information at any stage. You can still have a pdf version of your resume (uploaded to your website of course) that can be quickly downloaded by prospective employers or you can send it out by traditional email. You will also find other career services and related products on the Resume Creator site.
