Creating a VisualCV

I spent some time this morning working on my VisualCV.  It took a little prompting from VisualCV's Director of Marketing, Pierce Resler, but I thought that since I've heard lots of good feedback and because I've recommended it to job seekers, I should have my own.

It was quick and simple to create.  I uploaded my photo and images of my book covers and added my work history, my memberships, and links to my web sites.

 

I have a dedicated url for my VisualCV: http://www.visualcv.com/alisondoyle and I can create a PDF version that looks really impressive.

One thing that I didn't do - by design - is list all my contact information next to my name. This was for a couple of reasons. First, I made my VisualCV available on the internet, so anyone can see it.  Secondly, I'm not looking for a job, and I already have more people getting in touch with me than I can effectively manage.

You can see more VisualCV samples on the web site, and you can also enter a contest for the best VisualCV in several categories.
