Santa's VisualCV

I was impressed with Santa's resume, which did a good job marketing his skills and experience thanks to Certified Professional Resume Writer Martin Buckland.

I'm even more impressed that Santa has gone high-tech and created a VisualCV. A VisualCV is an online version of your resume, but, like a portfolio, has much more - images, videos, and links to your accomplishments.

Everyone should have a VisualCV, even if you're not actively job seeking. It's an excellent way to showcase your skills and present your personal brand. It's quick and easy to set up, and, as I said, it's a terrific way to present yourself online.

As you can see from Santa's VisualCV, he's got photos (Rudolph is really cute!), his work history, special skills, including flying reindeer, and examples of his personal brand licensing. Who wouldn't want to recruit him?

Take a cue from Santa and spend some time creating or polishing up your VisualCV. You'll have a unique, personal URL for your VisualCV, and you can link to it from LinkedIn, Facebook, other networking sites, and your blog. It will show networking contacts and prospective employers, at glance, why you're a terrific connection or candidate for employment.
