ABOUT THIS SITE
This site is
much more than just an online resume. In
today's fast moving and constantly
changing economy hiring managers shouldn't
settle for the old single-spaced 12pt font on white, 24lb bond paper - that's
sooo 20th
century. The fact is everyone has internet access and no matter who you are,
from the sole proprietor with a lawn mowing business to tech giants like
Microsoft and Intel, the employer of today needs
someone who is tech-savvy and
articulate.
Have Talent - Will Travel
shows employers my tech-savvy but it goes much further than the traditional
one-page resume ever can. If I were to turn in a ream of paper with a list
of all my accomplishments, skill sets, recommendations and a portfolio of my
work, needless to say, you'd be overwhelmed! But by putting all that
information on the web I give today's hiring manager as much - or as little
- as he or she has time or the desire to digest. By providing this new tool to
you I put myself above the crowd, above even those candidates who might hand
in a resume on scented pink paper or use a
CRAZY FONT.
In short, this site tells you three things:
- I'm tech-savvy. I can, at the
very least, create a basic website.
- I'm creative. Not only does this
site outline my work history and skills, it showcases my design and writing
skills.
- I think
outside the
box. Yes, it's an incredibly tired cliché but it's still one of the
most important things to look for in an employee. No company can
expect to be on the cutting edge of innovation and, therefore an
industry leader, by doing things the same old way. Innovation should
start with your employees and it should start on day one. Who was
the last person you hired who sent you a URL instead of that sheet
of white, 24lb bond paper?
