Stand Out With The One Page Resume Work Portfolio
Many recruiters prefer one page resumes, so use yours most effectively. The one page resume portfolio is a 6-panel pamphlet that shows your resume when folded and your work portfolio when unfolded. How does it work? The image of a French print designer's resume portfolio shows 3 different views. From left to right: 1) Front view of the resume portfolio, slightly open. You can see the designer's logo and contact information. Notice the vertical bar on the right side of the inner panel, where the text reads "curriculum vitae" with a right arrow and "portfolio" with a left arrow pointing inside. 2) Partially-open view of the portfolio. If you followed the left arrow and continued unfolding, this is what you'd see before you're done. The panel with the arrow bar folds outwards, meaning that there's actually more room for portfolio highlights inside. 3) Resume details. Following the right arrow will have you flip over the pamphlet, leading to the actual resume content.

Why A Facebook Page Is A Must For Job Seekers
And how to use a Facebook page to enhance your job search. This is a guest post by Danielle McGaw. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. Social networks can be a great asset to anyone that is looking for a job or knows that they might be looking for a job in the future (and let’s face it - that is most of us!). The fact of the matter is that the number of people that will be looking for a job in the next five years is increasing. So, even if you have a job today, you need to be aware that next week, next month, or next year, you might not and you need to prepare yourself for it now. One of the ways you can do this is by creating a professional Facebook page to brand yourself as a professional in your field and make people aware of your skills. This is not the same as your personal profile where you show off pictures from your latest trip or share funny pictures with your friends. This is purely focused on your professional image.
