The social media resume process
Dan Schawbel wrote this article http://mashable.com/2009/01/13/social-media-resume/ and states that with a social media resume, you can present a different portrait of yourself for hiring managers and customize the resume to reflect your personal brand. Social media allows for the resume to become a “billboard” that can be shared, distributed to hiring managers, searched and more.
