Technology is gradually changing not only how people hunt for jobs, but how job seekers construct their resumes as well.

Job sites such as Monster have long given you the option to put a resume or CV online, but they have mostly replicated the traditional resume format. Some can be more restrictive, since they may not have the option to reorganize a resume in alternative styles such as the functional or hybrid resume. Others, like HotJobs.com, allow you have a resume on its own unique website, which you can design however you like.

Social media sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook let a user add even more content - turning the profile into a virtual resume that can include pictures.

VisualCV is taking the idea even further, allowing the user to add video presentations, writing samples, work projects, embedded charts, informational pop-ups, links to a blog and just about any other aspect of a job-hunting package one can think to add.

Recruiting experts point out that while an online CV gives employers a place to go, they are still likely to search you on the web, so the rest of your online presence should be professional as well.
