Every professional must have a resume.  Most of the resumes I have reviewed in the IT world have been lack luster at best, and these are the ones which make it through HR.  One of the problems I had at the beginning of my career was that my resume would be spun up one night after work when I decided I wanted something more.  Each time would be a new resume, new format, complete rewrite from the ground up.  This method was error prone, time consuming and generally demoralizing.  Over time I have learned to continuously update my resume every few months with the latest projects I have been working on.  My resume is now ready to go at a moments notice.  Even though I am continuously tweaking my resume in its current format, I am always looking for ways to improve my resume or spruce it up.  Not long ago a very clean, well formatted resume came across my desk, and without looking at the content I thought to myself "I want my resume to look like this".  I noticed at the bottom of the page https://www.visualcv.com/.  That night after putting my daughter to bed, I decided to check out visualcv.  There are 2 account types free and pro.  The pro price is $12/month and includes a resume expert who will help craft your resume with you.  The pro subscription also opens up a large number of templates and allows many versions of your resume.  The free version allows 2 versions of you resume and provides 3 templates.  The free version is an excellent place to get started perfecting your resume.  I was able to upload my existing resume into a template and within minutes had a well formatted resume on the web and in PDF format ready to go.  You can choose to have just a PDF version, an unlisted online version, or an online version listed and indexed by search engines.  There is a warning about providing personal information for the indexed version.

Here are the 2 versions I was able to create within minutes.
