The visual resume is an effective alternative to the traditional resume to market a job seeker to prospective employers. The visual resume contains images (photographs and/or video) demonstrating the individual at their best. It is not a scrapbook of the person’s life.

A visual resume includes the following elements:

• A name page introducing the job seeker

• An introductory portrait or picture of the individual

• Images of the individual demonstrating competent performance of tasks

• Narrative pages relating to the images highlighting the individual’s skills, abilities, experiences, and contributions relevant to employers

• A task list developed during the Employment Planning meeting based up on the IPE goal

• Unique features of the job seeker

Payment Rate
