The digital world has put a new spin on CVs, and while the old paper and Word documents are still the professional ones, they can be quite mundane compared to the creative virtual resumes the HR manager gets to see.
Employment is competitive and although individuals may be excellent at interviews, they must enchant HR managers and other potential employers who may be reviewing their resumes first.
