**************************************************
Infographic Resume
An infographic resume uses visuals including images, photos, graphs, charts and other graphics to provide information about a job seeker.
Infographics can be shared with connections and prospective employers and pinned to Pinterest.
They are like traditional resumes in that they convey similar information such as contact information, previous work experience, and related skills.
However, infographic resumes convey this information in a highly visual format; for example, instead of listing previous work experience in chronological order, an infographic resume may display this information in an illustrated timeline.
An infographic’s unique blend of text and images can help job seekers stand out from other applicants.
**************************************************
Linkedin Resume
Using your LinkedIn profile as a resume is quick and easy, because LinkedIn does all the work for you.
Fill in your LinkedIn profile as completely as possible and you’ll have an online resume that you can download as a PDF, print and share via email.
Another benefit of using your LinkedIn profile as a resume is that the more robust it is, the easier it will be for employers seeking candidates on LinkedIn to find you.
Online Resume
An online portfolio is a great option for showcasing your talent, especially for those working in design or photography.
Your online portfolio will provide a terrific visual representation of your work. The URL of your portfolio can be linked from your LinkedIn profile, your other social media profiles, and can also be included on your traditional resume.
**************************************************
Social Resume
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.
**************************************************
Video Resume
A video resume is a short video created by job applicants to highlight their skills and experience. Typically, the job candidate sits or stands in front of the camera and describes their qualifications.
However, job seekers have been increasingly creative in their video resumes. Some video resumes include animated infographics and music as well. Because a video resume is usually quite brief (between one and five minutes), it is almost always supplemented by a traditional resume.
