Comments on: My PowerPoint Resume In The Making http://nadinetouzet.com/blog/2008/03/11/my-powerpoint-resume-in-the-making/ keeping it up in the translation/interpretation sphere Sat, 11 Oct 2008 09:39:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Chris Stone http://nadinetouzet.com/blog/2008/03/11/my-powerpoint-resume-in-the-making/#comment-265 Chris Stone Fri, 21 Mar 2008 22:12:47 +0000 http://nadinetouzet.com/blog/my-powerpoint-resume-in-the-making/#comment-265 I came across your blog while researching for my own PowerPoint resume. The way I see it - I needed something to make me stand out in the crowd. Everyone (or at least everyone that is in the target audience for my resume) has PowerPoint. I think the inter-activity of it is what will get noticed - plus using a tool that is listed on the resume... many good reasons, back to work. If you want to share ideas on this, ping me - you can also find me on LinkedIn/in/thechrisstone. I came across your blog while researching for my own PowerPoint resume.

My intention is to send it either as a .ppt or as a .pdf file attached to an e-mail. Everyone has MS Office these days, so this is fine (its weight is actually quite light). If I can embed a video in a .pdf, I'll send it as a .pdf The fact that it will be an attachment at least for the first clients means that it has to be very clear, hence the exercise in conciseness and visual effects. Nothing flashy, just the attention-grabbing essentials, but in my own style. I'll keep you posted on the developments ;) One use that I didn’t mention is this: I am also using it as a starting-point for my website, which I haven’t been able to build yet because I have too many ideas for it and I must work things out.

But how will you use it? ;) A .DOC or .PDF file can be sent to clients for easy printout, but PowerPoint doesn't have this advantage. Of course, PowerPoint resume is great for online or offline presentations. A PowerPoint resume is an interesting idea.
