What is a Brief-Bio, and Why do I need one?
A Brief-Bio is your online portfolio and resume, that graphically displays your skills and experience for all the world to see. With your own custom web site and domain, you are able to send contacts and potential employers to your own website to see detailed information, graphics, and pictures that uniquely showcases who you are, what you do, and why you are different from your competition.
Career experts agree that in this economy and age of technology, it is imperative that we brand ourselves. We must distinguish ourselves from the millions of qualified professionals that are now out of work, and are desperately seeking employment. These people are your competition. Employers view dozens (if not hundreds) of resumes weekly...and no matter how "pretty" or professional you make your resume look, to a recruiter...they all look the same. They briefly scan hundreds of resumes looking for anything special that may separate one candidate from another.
You only get one chance to make a first impression...and that first impression is your resume. A good resume is, and will always be vital. However, by sending a Brief-Bio along with your resume, you instantly stand out from your competition, and force a recruiter to stop sifting through countless resumes, and spend a little time looking through your professional online biography. This forces an employer or recruiter to focus their attention on you... and fully see in detail why you are unique, and should be considered above your competition.
By sending a business contact, employer, or recruiter to your custom domain...(www.your-name.ws)... you display a level of creativity, forward-thinking, and professionalism that can be seen worldwide, and will greatly increase your chances of landing the job you want.
"Resumes usually follow a very prescribed and formal style. An online portfolio is less formal and gives you a chance to add more and distinctive information about yourself that you might not necessarily find in a resume. Online portfolios usually allow you to add hot links to your work, so that prospective employers can see what you can do, immediately."
