Many people have begun to share their resumes through personalized websites or blogs. This is a great option for presenting your work experience, skills and talents, your resume, and even your professional portfolio, online. Your website may include everything from a traditional resume to videos, animated infographics, or an online portfolio.

Other online resumes known as social resumes also include links to one’s social media pages. Social resumes provide a more complex view of an applicant, and demonstrate the applicant’s fluency with social media.

You can link to your website from your Google+, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter pages and your other social media accounts, so you're sure that prospective employers can view it. You can also list the URL on your paper resume.
