We all know job seekers have lots to do and creating a website for a resume can be time consuming. Not to mention that technical know-how is a must. When an unemployed person is looking for a job full-time, learning how to create a website for their resume may not be a priority. VisualCV is totally intuitive, easy and you don’t need technical skills such as html or Dreamweaver. You can also download your information from LinkedIn and it magically appears on VisualCV. You can then adjust what you want to keep or delete.
When I first (luckily) ran into VisualCV, I was preparing for a workshop entitled “Get LinkedIn to Jobs.” I couldn’t believe that I would be able to share VisualCV with the attendees. Kathleen Conners, a local recruiter, told me that "recruiting software" that many recruiters use reads what is on LinkedIn as junk or gibberish. So if a recruiter cuts and pastes from LinkedIn, they may not bother with a candidate that does not have their resume outside of LinkedIn. So don’t take any chances. Make sure you are the candidate that is not passed over even though you have the perfect qualifications. VisualCV even guides you on how to link your VisualCVfrom LinkedIn and other social networks. Oh and I had to her cut and paste my resume from VisualCV and it copied over just fine to her software.

Two of the attendees to my workshop sent me links to their VisualCV’s. Might want to get some ideas from them: http://www.visualcv.com/rmarkowskiand http://www.visualcv.com/iuhle. VisualCV also has a great line up of resume examples.
