Today's entry on the WSJ.com blog "Laid Off and Looking" is all about moving beyond your resume in your job search. Resumes are a great interviewing tool. They provide a concise snapshot of your background, experiences, and skills for the hiring manager to refer to while interviewing you. But your resume, no matter how professional and outstanding it may be, might not be enough to land you that interview. With so many candidates competing for open positions, you need to be sure that your information stands out from the crowd. But how do you incorporate creativity and original formatting without being too bold? How do you make your resume stick out from the rest of the pile?

Another potential problem that you may encounter while creating your resume is limited space. If a hiring manager receives your resume, it is unlikely that they will spend more than 15-30 seconds reviewing it - certainly not enough time to read through an entire page, much less two or more. How, then, do you select the information to include? What if you feel that your education and every work experience you have had are relevant to an open position?

OneWire offers a solution. By building a highly detailed profile, you can include any and all information that you feel is relevant and will play an integral role in advancing your career. Your profile is also extremely organized and easy to navigate. No matter how much information you include, hiring managers know exactly where to find what they are looking for. 

Your OneWire profile is also a Career Management Tool that you can use for life. You can update your profile as often as you like, so the information is never stale - and you won't need to worry about eliminating some information to meet space limitations.

Your profile is the key to making precise career connections - not your resume. Visit www.OneWire.com to start building your profile and managing your career.
