I recently came across Job Spice, a powerful yet simple resume tool, and decided to give it a whirl because I know how much time can be spent formatting and designing your resume when you should be focused on the content. Making it good looking is important but in end content is king. That is what is so appealing about Job Spice. It allows you to drag and drop “content fields” in any order to lay out your resume. All you have to worry about is filling in the blanks and you are done. It then uses CSS so you can change between designs with the click of a button. It also allows you to save your resume online as a pdf with your own URL, www.yourname.jobspice.com, which can be downloaded by anyone who you tell to take a look at your new online portfolio. It will not only make you look professional but the simplicity of it will make whomever is fetching your resume surely appreciate your unique style. You talk about a dream come true.
I can remember my days of creating a resume and how much time I spent with layout, lines, content placement, and the list goes on. You can wind up spending more time on the smallest things rather than concentrating on what matters. I took about 5 minutes and created a demo resume you can check out here and let me tell you, it is as easy as it sounds. Here are a couple screen shots of creating and previewing my new resume.
Step 1. Fill in the boxes
Step 2. Pick a design and preview
Step 3. Show off your new Resume’s URL
