Make Your Resume Stand Out with Tag
Need
help landing a new job? Using a Tag could be the secret sauce that
makes recruiters think your resume tastes great (metaphorically
speaking). Using a 2D barcode (especially a colorful, customized Tag)
can set it apart from the rest of the pile and help you rise above
other hungry job-seekers in this tricky professional climate.
Graphic
designers, social media pros, and digital media journalists alike can
show off that they're tech-savvy – and give hiring managers more info
than can fit on a single sheet of paper. A Tag on a resume could link to
a bunch of things like:
- A video of you explaining your capabilities (like this guy did) or demonstrating your acting or video-journalism chops
- A graphic design portfolio or links to writing clips
- Your personal website, with links to your LinkedIn account, blog, and other pages
Custom Tags can even incorporate your logo, initials, or other aspects of your personal brand.
Giving
HR staff a way to interact with you off the printed page could be what
it takes to land you that awesome job. What do you think – would you put
a Tag on your resume? Let us know in the comments or on Facebook or Twitter.
