 Usually, concepts like an infographic
formatted resume seem too gimmicky to be used in a serious job search, but if done well, it can demonstrate
real creativity and outside-the-box thinking. It could be just the thing you need to defeat the rote
processing by HR department drones who are known to run resumes through analyzing software to look for
keywords and phrases. Of course your originalism might not be rewarded with special attention, but rather
cause your masterpiece to end up in a trash bin (be it e-mail or physical). That, and a few other useful
ideas regarding job hunting and job retaining are contained in the following articles that have appeared
recently.
