I haven’t really applied for any jobs since finding myself unemployed almost a year ago. I’ve looked into a few opportunities but haven’t yet sent in my resume. My primary concern is how to stand out in a crowd, especially when I’m possibly older than the others in that crowd.

Perhaps the solution is Audio Resume, an interesting and affordable way to stand out from all the other applicants. Simply provide a toll free number with your standard resume so that prospective employers can hear your answers to five interview questions.

Since my previous job revolved around answering the phone and providing tech support and customer care, an audio resume would be ideal for any job that interests me.

I’ve also been involved in the hiring process at my former job so I do know that an Audio Resume would have caught my eye and intrigued my bosses. Taking the initiative to add this kind of stand-out feature shows creativity and desire. This is a small investment with the potential for huge returns.

Just got a call from the husband about promoting his work. His latest request is reasonable. He wants me to order business cards for him. As I’ve mentioned before, he’s more of a “hard copy” person than a digital fan. He’d rather have a card to hand out than a website to share. (Although he’s getting a website anyway.)

So now I’m trying to come up with a nice logo and a catchy phrase. He’ll need something that sets him apart and can also be translated to the internet. I guess that means I need to get working on that.
