” The VisualCV is an Internet-based resume that allows professionals to build and manage an online career portfolio that comes alive with informational keyword pop-ups, video, pictures, and social networking. “  VisualCV

VisualCV.com is yet another example of a web-start-up that appeals to the web 2.0 world. The US venture is backed by some of the best known venture-capitalists in the country. For the job-seekers, VisualCV offers a competitive edge in the electronic resumes world.

What this website offers is the rich  and dynamic media you can use to enhance your CV. In the Facebook and Youtube era, your normal Word or PDF is simply inadequate. VisualCV allows you to put videos of your self-introduction, charts of your previous sales performance and pictures of your community involvement to sell yourself to your potential employers.

Of course, VisualCV must complete with the current online CV services like Linkedin which is already gaining much popularity with many high profile users. But the website packs a punch with it’s differentiating rich media of presenting the individual.

I couldn’t wait to test this potentially advantagous media.
