After talking about 30-second video resumes, I asked the people who follow me on Twitter to tweet their own mini resumes -- a resume in 140 characters or less. Here's what I got and the link to the source's Twitter account:
-
@MyLifeROI: Self-motivated supply chain professional w/ excellent analytical, organizational & creative skills. Outstanding measurable results.

Quite a nice blend of ideas, huh?
Personally, I like the options that talk about accomplishments. Things like "outstanding measurable results," "result oriented," and "essential to my current employer." What do you like about the resume tweets above?
BTW, here's mine:
Marketing exec. Long history of delivering outstanding, quantifiable business results. Strategic, effective, accomplishment-oriented leader.
What would your resume tweet say?
Here's mine
Franchise-level engine developer and startup bootstrapper. Software in over 100M devices worldwide and off-world. Led dev and QA teams in three continents.
