An online resume is a digital representation of the classic paper resume, but with a twist!

With online resumes you get all of the advantages of paper resumes but with more modern features like:

- The Ability to Build and manage a more engaging Internet based resume.
- Allows You to Combine audio, video and a digital career portfolio – all on a single Web page.
- Easily and Securely share professional qualifications with your customers, partners, employers and colleagues

In short, having an online resume allows you to develop and maintain an always up to date version of your paper resume with multimedia capabilities as well.

Imagine being able to send potential employers to a resume that exisits online, with images, video and other representations of the work you have done.

Having an online resume adds personality to the often boring world of resumes, you can literally jump off the page!
