I've seen that as a popular practice in the advertising and marketing world. Rarely in consulting.

I do, it’s much easier to format. I still create in a vertical orientation and export to PDF before sending anywhere.

Just print as PDF

I use Tableau

That way prospective employers can view my attributes quantitatively and illustrate synergies both between my different skills and with their organization!

My brother did with good results. Provided the ppt style bio as a coverletter + a resume.

I did once and got good feedback. Ultimately the timing didn’t work out with that role.

However the feedback I’ve gotten from most people who’ve looked at both is that the word-based resume (of course converted to PDF) was better as it is what most people are used to. You don’t want people to have to work too hard to understand what you’re about.

PPT: "SC1 & The Presidential Cabinet: Winning the Future Together"

Thought this was obvious but I meant to format a slightly more visually appealing 1 page resume.

We always do one up for the client for each team member
