Shrink Your Resume by 9 Times

Looking for an alternative to LinkedIn and social media to post your resume? Maybe you like the old fashioned pen and paper way? Well forget them both because one gal decided to turn her business card into a full fledged resume-CV-fold up brochure. I agree with Jeannette, it’s absolutely deviously effective.

The Shrinking Resume |: “Not so fast, Gary.  I was at a networking reception last evening and good friend and colleague and I began to chat.  She’s in the job market.  But instead of whipping out a resume (actually she would never be so gauche as to do that in good company), she pulled out her ‘business card.’   She doesn’t believe in the old fashioned resume, either.  What she had done was turn her business card into her resume.  It was quite ingenious.  The business card had two-folds and each of the three little sections had everything included about her professional experience, volunteer activities and education.  She even had room on the first page for her color photo.”

The Sin in Doing Good Deeds – NYTimes.com

January 17, 2009

Here’s a question for the holiday season: If a businessman rakes in a hefty profit while doing good works, is that charity or greed? Do we applaud or hiss?

A new book, ‘Uncharitable,’ seethes with indignation at public expectations that charities be prudent, nonprofit and saintly. The author, Dan Pallotta, argues that those expectations make them less effective, and he has a point.
