Simple really a Resume Website is always on and always growing, gaining SEO and popularity; you are a business, a commodity, this is your career that you are growing and marketing to Employers.

Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing. –Theodore Roosevelt
Resume websites
I believe Resume Websites are the future, that’s not to say that resume experts will no longer be needed, far from it. Their expertise is indeed very valuable and probably always will be as they understand the language of the employer. It is the delivery of the resume that needs to change and hence the need for a fully blown website.
Your Resume Site is your headquarters and it is this that will differentiate you and attract followers and interested parties. Your Resume Website is not a simple one page site that too would become boring and lack power and a reason to get to know you. Your Resume Website is more than just your resume, it is all about you.
What does a good resume website look like?
Your Resume Website Connects You
A good resume website will offer at least five pages to include an About You Page, Your Resume page, Testimonial page, blogging platform and contact page. You should within your Resume website include varied media such as Video, info graphics, slide share, podcasts and social media profiles. To put more personality into your site include books you read, movies that you like and your top ten websites that you visit, commonality breeds connectivity.

Before you start exploring the possible Resume Website options we strongly advise you choose a provider that offers Premium Word Press sites, online training and excellent hosting options these sites should be backed 24/7/365 by teams of international developers. Looking into the future it is very likely you will want to revamp the look and feel of your site, maybe even add e commerce so before you begin you need to know that the platform you intend using offers you these tools.
You are providing for your varied audience easy to digest yet informative and engaging content and providing them with reasons to get hold of you and connect. You want to be seen as someone who can help an organisation that the skills you offer you are able to demonstrate via your site and its links.
Perhaps the most powerful part of a Resume Website is the ability to show/ demonstrate your abilities to future employers. Hiring managers are only given a limited window in which to assess a candidate’s competency however a website offers a non-intrusive easy to digest means of getting your information and skills seen and heard.
Recruiters spend on average 5-7 seconds looking at a CV…
The secret sauce to Your Resume website is your blogging platform; it is from here that the power of your site will grow. We live in an age of information, we thrive on information, it seems we can’t get enough of it; it is up to you to provide information relative to your niche that is useful and engaging. Unlike an advert a blog that is written using evergreen content will always be useful, it does not die, disappear or become irrelevant but will continue to draw visitors and an engaged audience.
The key skills employees are looking for today are: Communication, Collaboration, Critical thinking and Adaptability. Going further into the future in 2020 key skills needed will be:
• Collaborative orientation
• Developer of people
• Learning agility
• Digitally proficient
• Global mindset including cultural agility
• Conscious Capitalist/Conscious Leader
• Future focus
• Adaptability/change orientation
• Innovative/creative champion
• 360 communicator
