A creative resume is a terrific way, especially for job seekers who want
to provide online examples of their work, to highlight your skills and
experience in a manner that is more visually appealing and engaging than
a traditional resume that simply lists your employment history.
You don't have to be a techie to make a creative resume. There are free
resume sites that will step you through the process of designing and
creating your resume, provide you with storage space online to host your
resume, and give you a personal URL that you can share with employers
and contacts. You'll be able to update your resume online and share it
with your networking connections and prospective employers.
