Most job seekers focus on job search engines when posting their resume online. However, a new kind of resume is evolving, the online interactive resume.

Modern technology makes it possible to create an eye catching resume that will help a job seeker stand out form the rest. Listed below are the top 3 interactive resume websites we think will help job seekers stand out in an innovated way.

Video resumes are modernizing the job-search process as we know it.

Video resumes, also known as Visume, have been around since the 80’s but have recently taken off due to the growth of broadband connections and easy-to-use video-making applications. A visume done correctly can have impressive results but done poorly, can affect your chances of getting an interview. If you’re thinking about going down the video resume route, we’ve got some tips for you below.

Many college students are often too busy juggling homework, family, friends and work that they often do not think about internships. In this economy, internships should be a top priority for college students. Having an internship on a resume gives recent graduates a competitive advantage over other college grads applying for the same jobs. Employers believe that many graduates without internship experience do not have the practical skills necessary to excel in the job market.  Internships are beneficial because they give students the experience and skills they cannot learn within a school setting. Below you will find helpful information about internships.
