How To Make Your Own Cool Facebook Resume

The Do-It-Yourself Facebook Resume Kit. The best way to show off your resume on Facebook, by far. This is a guest post by Claudio Nader. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. Want a resume that looks like this? Why this is a great idea Many job seekers kick off their job search with an email to everyone they know asking for leads. A common problem is that after a few weeks or months, friends and family forget that they're still looking for a job. Your Facebook profile resume will constantly remind every visitor about your job search without you needing to send followups. Then when a lead comes to mind, they'll just need to click 'Share Profile'. Now, when sending that first job search announcement, tell people to follow your Facebook profile to know if you're still looking. Pretty clever, right?
