Sometimes, just for fun I walk over to HR and have a peek at the résumés people send in.
Let me tell you it ain’t pretty.

This makes me feel incredibly sad.
90% Times New Roman size 12 font.

Kudos to Microsoft for taking us this far, but if you want to make it to the top of the pile
you better put a bit more effort into it.
![Page 8: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
In a time where people are going to Google you, do you
have more than just that boring paper résumé?
![Page 9: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
There’s a shift in advertising today.

And why shouldn’t your job pitch do the same?

“What chance is there that your totally average résumé, describing a totally average academic and work career is going to get you most jobs?
![Page 12: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
"Hey Bill! Check out this average guy
with an average academic background
and really exceptionally average work
experience! Maybe he's cheap!!"
![Page 13: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Do you hire people that way? Do you choose products that way? If you're driving a Chevy Cavalier
and working for the Social Security Administration, perhaps,
but those days are long gone.
![Page 14: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
”People are buying only
one thing from you:The way the engagement
(hiring you, working with you, dating you, using your product or service, learning from you)
makes them feel.

So how do you make people feel?

“This is controversial, but here goes: I think if
you're remarkable, amazing or just plain
spectacular, you probably shouldn't
have a résumé at all.”
![Page 17: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
I agree, but...
![Page 18: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
web designers have portfolios, directors have show reels,
models have books,Seth has a website.

Why shouldn’t you showcase your work and make it easier for people to share your story?
![Page 20: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
If you work in an office (like most people) what tools do you have to tell your story, showcase your work and create a résumé
that will knock the socks off the people you want to work with?
so I asked myself:
![Page 21: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The dreaded presentation softwareYes!

Why not create a résumé speci"cally
for slideshare?
![Page 23: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
reasons a résumé can help you stand out

1-5Slideshare is one of the biggest most vibrant business communities online today

It’s a crazy idea, but putting yourself out there and making it easy for
people to spread your story (or ideas) is the name of the game now.
![Page 27: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

The first product I designed was a community for travelers. To this day it remains the best place for young travelers to find work, buy things and connect.
![Page 37: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

There’s no need to showboat or be over the top with your résumé.
Slideshare is just one way, but there are many, many more.
Something short, sweet and simple will do.
![Page 45: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Sure some people might think i’m degrading
the sacred all mighty résumés tradition...
![Page 46: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
and some might not want you to stand out so much, but really... are those the people you really want to work with?
![Page 47: Really ugly resumes](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032700/55d72e99bb61eb01178b4577/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Times New Roman 12 just isn’t good enough anymore.
Face it, it’s tough out there.

-Seth Godin(I told you he was smart)
The only people who get paid enough, get paid what they’re worth are people who don't follow the instruction book, who create art, who are innovative, who work without a map. That option is now available to everyone so take it.

But more importantly, I received plenty of requests for new work and connected with some amazing people
