Why would anyone in their right mind want to send out a resume with pictures all over it? In short, there is significant value in enabling someone (in this case, someone who has the power to hire) to better understand what the candidate can bring to a job or project.  Now. So, instead of placing the once obligatory, now obsolete “objective” at the top of a Word document, there is another way to stand out: by showing experience. Not just the type, but the depth.

• An ice-breaker: allows the reader to ask and the information provider to answer questions in a more conversational way
• Knowledge workers (i.e., the people who are reading the resumes) spend twice as much time gathering and organizing information than they do analyzing it. Providing them with a meaningful document will make them up to seven times more likely to actually read it and consider the candidate.
• An infographic-based resume has a better chance of being read because it is pre-organized in a manner that allows for fast analysis by those who are literally swamped with choices.
