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. Read more »
