Visualizing Your Résumé

How can you make your résumé stand out from the crowd in today's job market?

Eugene Woo, the CEO and founder of Visualize.me, describes the problem confronting millions of job seekers:

"People aren't even really reading [resumes] anymore," said Vizualize.me CEO and founder Eugene Woo. "They've gotten too long, and they just aren't useful."

That sentiment is why Woo's company has built an online web app that pulls information about an individual's work, education and skill experience from their LinkedIn profile, and allows them to generate what we would describe as a résumé infographic:

From our perspective, this kind of information visualization is something that we've been wanting to do for some time, and apparently, we're not alone. At present, there is a waiting list of over 175,000 people waiting for a beta invite to use the web app.

Including us!
