Looking for an alternative to LinkedIn and social media to post your resume? Maybe you like the old fashioned pen and paper way? Well forget them both because one gal decided to turn her business card into a full fledged resume-CV-fold up brochure. I agree with Jeannette, it’s absolutely deviously effective.

The Shrinking Resume |: “Not so fast, Gary.  I was at a networking reception last evening and good friend and colleague and I began to chat.  She’s in the job market.  But instead of whipping out a resume (actually she would never be so gauche as to do that in good company), she pulled out her ‘business card.’   She doesn’t believe in the old fashioned resume, either.  What she had done was turn her business card into her resume.  It was quite ingenious.  The business card had two-folds and each of the three little sections had everything included about her professional experience, volunteer activities and education.  She even had room on the first page for her color photo.”
