Learning About Visual Resumes

Last Thursday we learned about Visual Resumes.

A Visual Resume is like a standard resume with more graphs, pie charts and statistics.

It has more features to use than just typing up a resume itself.

Are assignment for the class is to do further research on the advantages and disadvantages of Visual Resumes. Here is the overall information that I've found:

 Advantages:

• Visual Resumes are creative
• Visual Resumes help see everything clearer
• It is structured in a set order
• It helps to give a lot of information in a brief, simple way

Disadvantages:

• Visual Resumes are not for every job. Some employers prefer to have a traditional resume
• Some employers will say the opposite about the resume being easy to read and say they may have to look everywhere to find the main point
• Creating a quality Visual Resume would cost money
• There may be a higher chance of someone lying on a Visual Resume than a regular resume.
