I think this is a great idea!
A presentation, uploaded to Slideshare, gives you the opportunity to share who you are with potential employers. I have an online resume, but I’m very tempted to try something like this – just for fun. If I do, I’ll share it with you.
Exhibit A: J Ben Sykes
Ben works in Web design and does interactive stuff, so this resume suits that to a T. Gorgeous design. I love it (he has a military background, too… so it helps to tell his story.)
Exhibit B: Hypothetical. The storyline is a little sappy and veers a little too personal for my taste, but I think the design is nice and this definitely has potential.
Exhibit C: Cameron Ungar. Cameron’s is a great example. The red text on blue background is hard to read, but the flow works, I think.
