This is certainly a topic that extends beyond those seeking a social media related position. The fact of the matter is that as businesses move to adopt and integrate social media into their marketing and communication practices, social media savvy and skills among employees matter more and more each day.

I feel that it’s important that a resume reflect your experience and participation across these channels. The workplace has become more social and interactive, so should the one critical piece of you career building arsenal – your resume.

So how impressive is your resume really?

I’ve always been interested in what people are doing to separate themselves from the pack using creative resumes. The drawback to this approach is that it’s somewhat limited by one’s own design ability. I’m thrilled to find DoYouBuzz. The interface is intuitive and extremely user-friendly, and the end result is pretty impressive. Having your resume interactive and online will prove valuable for many.
