Getting Acquainted with the Social Resume

A few days ago, Brazen Careerist released a new feature on its website that showcases its new tool, the social resume. What is a social resume, you ask? According to the site, a social resume "is a one-of-a-kind, interactive showcase of your top ideas from around the web." This tool, the site explains, can help you "organize the most important things you have to say so employers, colleagues and friends know how smart you really are."

With this tool, you can showcase your online activity by importing blog posts, highlighting network conversations and #Brazen tweets and displaying creative and professional content.

Click here to check out Brazen Careerist's "social resumes 101" website. The site is a great resource for learning more about social resumes and how to make them work for you. It also contains a video to help you get acquainted with the social resume.

As the importance of social media continues to snowball, it will become increasingly important to be able to demonstrate your activity and proficiency in social networking communities. For this reason, Brazen Careerist's social resume feature and other similar online tools will likely prove invaluable--particularly for those interested in becoming part of the public relations world.
