How to Make Your Resume Irresistible

Recently a college student was hired into entry level training program based largely on his method of introduction--by putting his resume on CD by 'multimedia resume'. The CD arrived in inbasket along with the rest of the daily mail, but it was the first one opened. It was drawn in by the simple "1. Insert CD, 2. Follow the instruction on the start-up menu. The rational side of brain told me it was probably "just another resume," but the creative side of brain knew it wasn't. It was quite different. I set my work aside to take a look. The resume was viewable through a slick GUI interface with full color, sideline graphics, and even sound clips--when one of the references was selected from the drop-down menu, I was presented with a picture of the reference and a short "sound bite" of the reference talking about the student. Way cool!

Then, he interviewed. He tested. He grilled. And he hired. The person came to be known as "the person who did the multimedia resume" when the personal introductions were made. And all the staff who had seen or heard about the resume gave their obligatory "Oooh!" response.

Here's the key: This student attended a college that was not on our circuit of schools where we did on-campus interviewing. We would have never met but for the unique way his resume was packaged and prepared. We still don't have that college on our preferred list and may never proactively seek out anyone from that college. But this person found us and allowed us to find him by his unique technique for showcasing his talents. Interestingly, this person was hired far ahead of our scheduled on-campus visits. The odds of being hired for those students who patiently waited for us to arrive at their campus had just been reduced by one filled slot.

The resume on CD is successful because it is unique. If you have the technical talent to create your own version of the resume on CD, do it. If not, find a Comp Sci, MIS or Engineering major who would like to take on a resume referencable project. Don't worry that "no one else is doing it that way." It is your opportunity to stand out and be noticed in your field. And not just for technical fields--nearly all Hiring Managers have a PC on their desk. It can actually work best for non-technical fields, since it is even more unique. In a few years, this technique may be more commonplace. But for now, you'll truly be a standout.

Another twist on this idea of presenting your resume in a unique format

If you are truly looking for a way to stand out, this is a sure way to do so!

Hijz: Yeah!! Good idea, anyway. I'll try it by using Macromedia Flash. It should be very nice!!

Hello there!! just want to make note here:

* I've to register at KMNS on 16th May 2005*

Yes, I got to doing the really same thing before, study, study again. By the way, since I've introduce my latest layout (was taken from blogskins.com) let me introduce my new style in writing this blog. Give a big hand to dual-language, yeah - the gist of my journey.

Sebenarnya, dah tak sabo nak study balik macam dulu-dulu kala. Hehe. Rasanya, sudah banyak pelajaran yang aku mula susut diingatan maya. Cuma sekarang ni, tak mau studi banyak lagi, cuma baca buat sikit latihan Explore MUET. It seems quite fun because it bundled with audio CD, the voices are really vividly awsome. And, it's become harder from one chapter to the ahead one.


Recently, I've been to Genting Highlands for the first time ever in my life on 30th April 2005. What can I describe best for the place. It's very cool, instead of the themepark is located at the peak of mountain. Anyway, the most thrilling coaster is the 'Flying Coaster', new rollercoaster at Genting. As the name 'flying', we're actually flying like a superman when riding the coaster. And, the ride made my mind felt a bit dizzy. But, it's the only one coaster that the visitors have to pay for each ride, RM10, quite axpensive. Later on, I tried a many rides, spinning chairs to the worst, turtle- marry-go-round. Overall, nothing to say much, wanna be there again, perhaps.




That's it for now. Enjoy background piano keys by Senna, package with the new layout.
