Social Media News Release => Social Media Resume
Todd Defren over at PR Squared published a great guide to the social media news release idea, complete with a template showing how to create a possible social media newsroom. In it, he creates what is more or less a new media portal for a company.
Derivative thinker that I am, I thought, “This would be great for people, too!” just as I do for anything corporate that works. So in the spirit of Todd’s work, I’ve posted a sample Social Media Resume using Google Pages. I specifically chose Google Pages because anyone can use it without a lot of HTML/CSS knowledge.
Todd - thanks for sharing with the community.
Please leave your thoughts about the Social Media Resume here.
Very cool, Chris - I like it! Great idea!

Great idea. I was just sending my resume out to several places looking for part time help with “new media” ventures, and was looking at a way to spice it up without getting in to making a full blown portfolio page, and this… this looks like the answer.

Chris, nice job. You come off as very friendly in the video, and this is different enough from all the other gazillion resumes out there that it really stands out. Nice work!

I really like the idea behind this. I think the only difference is that I’d take the space directly below your YouTube and start with a conversational bit, and THEN get into your background. I really like what you’ve got started here. Worth following through.

Can you help me understand the “non-commercial” aspect of the license you’ve applied here? I’m a bit confused because I think the point of the resume is to get a job and get paid. I think I’m missing something here.

Dan - good question. Non-commercial in this aspect means you can’t go and resell this idea or format. You can use it for personal use, but you can’t go and make a cottage industry out of it.
Thanks!

Die, resume! Die! Die! Die!…
Not the headline you were expecting from a guy who works for Monster, right?
Well, the time has come to declare the death of the traditional resume for the creative professional.
If you’re an online advertiser, digital marketer, or social media-f…
