How About an Experience Map Instead of a Resume?

Have you seen Prezi.com? It's a free online presentation platform that goes way beyond a traditional slideshow. Instead of flipping slides, which may or may not have animations in them, Prezi turns the presentation into a large canvas and the viewer's perspective moves. Animations can also be added. To me, this creates a much more engaging presentation!

Prezi also opens new avenues for self-presentation, as in an interactive resume. View mine here!

Note: Prezis can be navigated by scrolling and clicking/dragging, but I recommend using the keyboard directional arrows or the on-screen navigation arrows for the first time seeing a presentation; otherwise you may miss some of the smaller elements.

A Prezi would, of course, need to be supplemental to a more traditional resume. Also, since the free version requires that presentations be publicly available, one should think carefully about putting names and contact details in their presentations.
