Make your CV stand out… by putting it on Google Maps…

Here’s something they don’t tell you in CV formatting advice: how to put your CV on to Google Maps. It’s a far cry from the standard two page, 11 point Times New Roman affair and yes, it sure stands out.

This particular CV belongs to copy-writer Ed Hamilton. He’s a well-travelled guy so it makes sense, sort of, mapping your experiences on a virtual atlas. Well if you’ve got a job for this chap, his contact details are on the map here. If your experiences don’t extend much beyond the UK’s national borders there may be less point in this, but I have to say clicking around is more fun than ploughing down some densely packed paragraphs.

Any more bright ideas for CV presentation?
