9+ Online Tools To Create Impressive Resumes

We’ve made a few big changes to the way your profile displays your information and some profiles will look a little different as a result.

Please log in to check your profile and make any changes you need to ensure it still shows off your talent in the best light.

So what’s changing?

All stats like twitter followers, view counts on YouTube, SoundClound likes and so on are now displayed in one ‘Online Presence’ section.

If you had stats on your profile before, you’ll now find this new section at the bottom, but you can drag the circular icon in the menu at the top of the profile to re-order it.

YouTube and Vimeo sections have been removed, and a ‘Videos’ section has been added in it’s place.

If you had YouTube or Vimeo videos on your profile, they will now appear in the Videos section. You can drag the icon to move this to your preferred place on the profile, as well.

The LinkedIn section remains the same, but is now named ‘Experience’.

The Slideshare section is now ‘Presentations’ and will allow you to embed slides or presentations from any website, not just slideshare.

The Soundcloud section is now ‘Audio’ and will likewise allow you to post sound clips and players from any site.

Why are we making these changes?

enthuse.me has always been about focusing on the most relevant examples of your expertise, and not just about combining information from all your (most often less relevant) social networks. The change to less specific sections should mean that fewer people add a section purely because they have an account there, and more because they have relevant content of that type to showcase. For those of you who do have impressive stats that are relevant to your expertise (A video producer should show off that they have millions of YouTube views for example), the online presence module now provides a simpler way to showcase those.

These changes mark the end of profile work for a while, while we turn our attention to the Personal Marketing Dashboard. Check back there soon for more features to help you market yourself and grow your audience both on enthuse.me and elsewhere online.

Continuing our post series on useful tools that help us improve and refine the enthuse.me website... next up, HipChat.

It seems odd when someone realises that we often have a conversation on HipChat, our internal instant messenger, even though we’re sitting meters away from each other. Actually though, it’s an incredibly useful and efficient tool that we use every hour of every day.

Developers often prefer to work undisturbed and so if you have a question for them that can wait, you can send it in HipChat for them to pick up when they’re free. This way the other developers are also kept in the loop, and you avoid confusing e-mail threads with loads of CCs. You can share files, set up rooms for certain groups (just designers for example) and send personal messages to invidividuals.

The best feature of HipChat is it’s ability to integrate with almost anything. We push GitHub notifications to the main chat, see Airbrake errors, see passed or failed builds on our CI server (Semaphore - also a great tool!) and even notifications of a new support email in our helpdesk. It’s a really great way for all discussions and notifications to be kept in one place.

Party poppers and champagne all round.

We're delighted to let you know that enthuse.me has been nominated for a 2013 Lovie Award in the Web Services & Applications category. We're nominated alongside the fantastic Eventbrite and Issuu so we're in great company.

WeSwap.com

Having worked in the fintech space prior to founding enthuse.me, I’m always interest in innovative consumer fintech propositions. WeSwap harnesses the concept of peer to peer with travel money, allowing you to buy and sell foreign currencies directly with other users. This approach cuts out the middleman therefore leading to lower fees and better value for money.

Thread

I find clothes shopping incredibly boring, but I like to put a little bit of effort into what I wear. My friends make fun of me for always wearing green trousers... I also have blue, though!

Thread sends me an e-mail from my assigned personal stylist every week with outfits I might like, and they learn my preferences the more I use it, so these days I'm buying one or two things every few weeks. I haven't been to a clothes shop in months! Anything I like from the e-mail, I click 'Try on' and without any other input from me (or any cost for the delivery), it turns up at the enthuse.me office a few days later. I try the stuff, and if i like it I keep it and I'm charged a couple of weeks later; if I don't like it, or it doesn't fit, I send it back for free.

The best thing about it all though is that I can e-mail my stylist and they get back to me really quickly with exactly what I'd asked for. I said "I'm running out of T-shirts and I tend to wear plain, bold styles with my colourful trousers" - 2 hours later I have 5 suggestions in my inbox, all plain, bold styles. Ideal.”

Makeshift

Makeshift are a studio who output lots of interesting little products aimed at helping ‘makers’ do what they do best. These include Attending.io, a lightweight RSVP system; HireMyFriend, a new take on job-seeking and HelpMeWrite, which helps you decide what to write about before you even begin based on feedback. It’s exciting whenever they push out something new.

Histropedia

A reference tool allowing people to explore the history of anything, through beautiful interactive timelines. #watchthisspace

Pusher

Pusher is a service that enables realtime communication through different platforms and languages, using a ridiculously simple API. I like it because it helps push the web forward, and make it a first-class platform along with some mobile platforms.

Playmob

Playmob is the first in the market for raising funds for charities using mobile and game engine technology, using in-app sales. In numbers:

1m in first round funding.

$66K raised so far.

100% a great idea.

HowAreYou

Healthcare is going digital and HowAreYou are at the forefront.

Check out the demo and you’ll wonder how we’ve put up with such bad user experience in the past. Not only is HowAreYou beautiful, but it has the engineering behind the scenes to back it up. The engineering team (led by Gerhard Lazu) are pushing Ruby-based web apps to the limit, and sharing their discoveries with the rest of the community.

Silicon Drinkabout

The beards. The beer. The near-legendary night. If it’s Friday evening, you’ll find me at Silicon Drinkabout drinking too much Minimum Viable Pale Ale and calling it ‘letting off steam’. The original and the best Old St Roundabout startup social, it tours the pubs and tech spaces of east London. It’s free, almost always brilliant, and can now be found in London, Manchester, Copenhagen and Amsterdam. Not been? Go. First beer’s on enthuse.me.

wireWAX

WireWax lets users create clickable videos by enabling tagging people and objects within the video. As you can imagine the potential of this app is tremendous! It revolutionizes the way video can be used, not only by companies but also individuals, as it allows interactive content and information to be shared. Music bands, fashion companies, football clubs, organisations from the publishing & entertainment industry, galleries, professors, students, families, friends… anyone really!

And as the saying goes: If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million :)

So... have a look at the videos to find out for yourselves here. 

P.S. Check out the BBC Interactive trailer. How awesome is that?!

bout Twitter (like 140 character tweet), best social media for both B2B & B2C (other than eCommerce - that's FB's arena), high ROI and meant for long term vision/objective.

Yet it’s way too high for promotions for SME, here I have pinpointed a tactics implemented by a online dashboard app - enthuse.me
