Create a Resume Website

Out of work?  Looking for a career change?  Looking for a way to market your skills and capabilities on-line as an alternative to mailing your resume?

That’s where my friend Dawn decided to take her next step.  We put together a simple resume site that she could use to market her skills online and get found by recruiters.  It’s quite simple actually and takes just a few steps:

1. Home page with Bio – give a brief description of who you are, your interests, your skills, certifications, awards.  Include a photograph – this will personalize your site and make you more recognizable for that first interview.

2. Portfolio - this could be some great examples of your work.  In Dawn’s case she is using PDFs of some of the examples of her writing.

3. Resume - post the full resume and include a pdf for download.  This will give your site great keywords for searching and will give your recruiter or potential employer the ability to download your resume.

LyricalBiz will help you create a dynamic site, clean and professional, and provide you with a professional email address for your potential employers to contact you with.  No more Yahoo mail or Gmail!  Your site will be designed in WordPress so you will have the ability to update your site when you need to.

What’s the cost? How about $200 complete. Contact me today and let’s get a resume site for you and online within a couple of days!
