In a world that is now based on technology, it is no wonder that simple things like the resume are starting to adapt to that change. Resumes can be emailed, hyperlinked and created into a HTML. Even though hiring organizations tend to restrict resumes to a maximum of one page, with the advances of technology a person can really fit a lot onto that one page. A person can hyperlink their blog, Facebook, Twitter accounts to their resume which doesn't take up space but invites employers to look dive deeper into a persons history and their present.
However, no matter the advances in technology there are still mistakes that can be made. A resume is an opportunity to market one's achievements, it is not a personality contest. A persons resume should be inviting yet professional at the same time. You want to make sure that your most important aspects are listed and space is not wasted on unimportant past times. Most employers spend less than a minute per resume, so make sure its polished and shining.
