Online Resume

Hello friends , as we know today we all have become the internet webby and for students the most important things is to sit and build the two page resume. As we are taught in colleges that resume must not be too long. But if you have expertise in many things and have so much to write then a two page resume is not enough.

I remember when I wrote my first resume two years ago , I did the same that everyone has done. I created a resume, a well-written document, professionally formatted which highlights my skills and experience, to impress the employers.

When I looked for a job after completing my engineering , I come to know that Recruitung firms , Employers etc were scanning these documents , so now I have to think something else to get highlighted in that huge lump of resumes, to come in the eyes of the HR. So this time I have created my resume in two differnt way one for people , the previous two pages and the other for recruiters, a bit longer in Microsoft word format. By this I can send my resume to the recruiters which I know or I have searched from the internet, through Email.

But now when I am in professional world where mostly everything is on internet, I think of something more innovative i.e. getting my resume online , where I may write all the information like my expertises, my skills , my past experiences ,etc. That's where I come to know about eZdia public profile and how it can help us to get an extended online resume.

Ezdia public profile contains the sections where you can write all your information. And thus I have got my online resume. This also helps me to keep my data on the web which now days is very important to get the visibility online and also allows search engines to find it.

Sharing my Ezdia profile in all my connections and blogs is very easy. As there is “Share/Save” button on your eZdia public profile page through which you can share your profile on different social networks.

Also, sometimes there can be a situation when someone asks for your resume and may be you forgot to carry it with you and by this you may miss an important opprtuninty in terms of job , interview etc. But now you will not miss it , by just giving your online resume as "A One Line URL" in the form of eZdia profile.

So it is very important that your eZdia profile is completed with all your details and expertise. So that you can represent it as your online resume. It should have the same information that is on your resume and, if you're looking for a job, employers will be able to see all your qualifications, your experience, and your skills.
