<p>However, “professional” and “display” may or may not be the cohesive end result when all is said and done. While you feel this type of resume will not overtake the standard traditional resume – I feel it has the potential to take that resume to the next level – because recruiters and hiring managers want to know and also want to validate the veracity of what is stated in a resume.</p>
<p>While “words” literally say it – the power of a well done/powerful visual can give those words a new level of credibility. To use your example of photography – what better way to make an assessment of impacting photography than impacting photography? Words alone would not do it justice.</p>
<p>My concern is that a rash of poorly done -- even unprofessional display resumes will most likely be the result unless the displayer has the capability and material to make it work…professionally speaking. This new trend will no doubt create a cottage industry for Visual Arts majors and others to come to the aid of people wanting to better portray their stuff to magnify what their resume tried to say with words alone.</p>
