Is this the end of the two page resume as we know of it?
There are some good reasons to say yes. With the introduction of online job boards, international recruiters and hiring managers have the real need to slice n dice through large volume of resumes at a pop. A digital resume portfolio is increasingly preferred over an emailed or snail mailed resume.
The essential difference: Provide career data in a marketable fashion in one neat package.
The best of new age job services actually provide a full service for the Jobseeker and often times for free. Job seekers are supported with the ability to follow and stay ahead of the latest trends in resume presentation with voice resume (or talking CV or audio resume), video resume (like one jobber put in a mini video of his training session in the curriculum vitae), multiple photos (good old profile shot, shot of jobseeker at work and, in a relaxed ambience).
All that creates a jobseeker branding and all through web 2.0 enabled easy-to-use technology. Jobseekers can post samples of work, recommendations and awards, video and much more.
www.gorecroot.com has some progressive resume presentation or resume builder features. Stopping by would be good use of time.
Make a voice resume or power your job order with voice.
Arguably, even two pages is one page too many. If (and thats a big if) one were to present quantified results in lieu of achievements in the resume, then its all about one page.
As much as multimedia resumes are welcome, question is on how well a recruiter can slice through the day and get fitment intelligence.
Given a job order, can a recruiter dive into a database and come back with interview schedules?
