An Introduction
to Resume Formats

In the web-based job market, resumes can take many forms, from "traditional" formats to QR-coded resumes and CareerFolio Web Resumes.

The average job seeker will need MS Word (for uploading and attaching) and text (for cutting and pasting).

For networkers and solopreneurs, the options extend to include the more stylized creative resume, resume brochure,or CareerBrief.

As the web-based job market has expanded, web resumes, web portfolios, and web-hosted bios have become more common and can include all kinds of design elements, from monograms and photos, to resumes that connect to Linkedin and resumes with downloadable recommendation letters.
