The online resume was once a gimmick, interesting, but not taken seriously. But is that the case anymore? Is it time to post a rather creative and engaging resume online? With various tools that make it easy to product professional websites, posting a flashy resume online can be a reality.
I recently found some online resumes that I thought were pretty interesting. Some were interactive, others were just showing information in a new way. Here are a few:

I like how they look, but I question whether anyone will actually spend the time to read it. 11 seconds is how long most employers will spend on a resume. And how would the online resume site integrate with all the job boards like monster, careerbuilder, etc? I personally believe there will be a tipping point, and online resume's will be predominant in the job hunt world. Much like Facebook took over the social media world.
What are your opinions about online resumes?
