Conventional Vs. Unconventional Resumes

Resumes are a vital step in the process of getting into a job or career, and without one your chance to the that job you want just sinks. Resumes are a formal presentation of your professional work, education and any other history that looks attractive to an employer. A resume can be done by the conventional means, on paper with a cover sheet. They can also be done through videos and submitted online. When you're speaking in terms of conventional resumes, paper is the way to go; many employers can appreciate a simple paper documented resume with a well put together cover sheet. There is nothing wrong with old fashioned and it seems to generally be the safe route. But going out on a limb and doing a resume the Unconventional way may prove to work in  your favor as well. If you are giving a video resume the employer may like to see a face behind all that information and history, it may be odd enough to work in your favor.
