Pixsume Creates Visual Resumes to Help Job Applications Pop
Making one’s resume stand out amongst a sea of job applications is becoming more and more difficult as the national job market keeps recovering at a very slow pace. One type of resume jobseekers are turning to in order to gain an edge over their competition is the visual resume. Visual resumes forgo the usual long lists of past positions for more colorful charts and pictorial timelines of an applicant’s career. In theory, this visual style stands out to hiring representatives in HR departments and makes it easier to encapsulate a long and varied career into a concise, one-page document. However, the trouble with visual resumes is the extra time and difficulty required in creating them from scratch. Cool product Pixsume reduces the time necessary to create a complete and appealing visual resume with their web-based resume creation tool. Pixsume users connect their LinkedIn accounts to Pixsume’s web tool in order to import all their background information, including past jobs and education. Pixsume also imports users’ skills and interests from their LinkedIn profile so that users can represent those skills in their visual resumes as well. If someone’s LinkedIn profile won’t import information correctly into Pixsume, that user should get access to online tech support to help resolve the issue.
Pixsume places a person’s work history onto a timeline in their visual resume. This timeline is color-coded and quickly relates an accurate concept of how much time a candidate has spent in each previous position. It also quickly relates the total amount of experience a jobseeker has without making hiring managers read through large amounts of text. Another visual aid that Pixsume uses is a color-coded list to represent a job applicant’s skillset. Pixsume highlights each skill with a different color to relate the level of experience an applicant has in that specific area. For example, Pixsume might highlight skills that an applicant is an expert in with the color green, while highlighting intermediate level skills with yellow. Once a user completes their visual resume on Pixsume, they can share it on social media and e-mail it directly to a potential employer. Users who have issues with Pixsume’s sharing feature should get help from a computer tech support company.
Pixsume also helps people improve their visual resume once they create it. The company keeps anonymous data so that users can compare their skillsets against others seeking similar positions. With this skill comparison feature, Pixsume can be a useful tool to help fill gaps on someone’s visual resume as well as creating it.
