Yet another obsession of mine is on the rise: Infographics. My favorite source is found at Visual.ly, a hub of interesting tidbits--from biographies to social media news. Infographics are the perfect way for any old boring information to become a visually pleasing work of art. Using Vizualize, I've even recently made my very own infographic resume! It was super simple, with just a few easy steps:
- Sign up at http://vizualize.me.
- Sync the site with a LinkedIn profile. Even without LinkedIn, users can manually enter information into the given categories.
- Edit profile to fit your needs. I added some stats and awards to create interest. I also highly suggest merging recommendations from a LinkedIn profile onto the infographic resume. What better way to prove your worth than a testimonial?
- Voilà! Just copy the URL and post your infographic where ever your heart desires! I've added mine to Twitter and LinkedIn, and a glimpse is below. [Other infographic resume websites include Brazen Careerist, Kinzaa, and Re.vu.]
- Have you made an infographic recently? Send me a link! I'd love to take a peek.
