Looking for a cool, easy way to revitalize your resume?

According to this WSJ article, some companies aren’t even taking traditional resumes anymore. Re.vu offers a way to get you online quickly. It is a “complete rethinking of what a resume can be. You no longer have to cram your experience and expertise onto a plain white piece of paper.” By creating a colorful infographic of your experience, you give your resume a boost and give yourself a way to stand out from the herd.

Re.vu makes it easy to transfer all your experience and education right over from your LinkedIn account. You can choose from one of the 13 designs or upload your own background image.  Then, just fill in for your vital stats, job duties, and skill evolution, and the site creates visual representation
with the click of a button.

And, for those companies that are still a little more traditional, you can upload your resume so that a hiring manager can print out a paper copy.

Here’s a sample of what I was able put together in under 15 minutes. It’s just a start, the tricky part is rethinking your work experience and putting it into numbers that tell the best visual story.
