E-Learning Challenge #31: Creative Resume Templates for E-Learning Portfolios

So I’m a bit late to the party on this one – things have been BUSY (and I won’t complain)! The e-learning challenge two weeks ago was to create a creative resume template to showcase e-learning portfolios. While not necessarily a template, I came up with a cutesy way to showcase my experience and some work samples.

The Concept

Create an interactive resume to showcase my education, work experience, and samples of my development work.

The Method

I was initially inspired by a desktop wallpaper posted by Smashing Magazine for the month of May (how is it May already?!). I downloaded the non-calendar version of the wallpaper, and formatted my slide background to display the image.

Then, I used shapes to create the a stick-figure version of myself and included a little blurb about what I do and why I’m passionate about it. Using shapes, I created buttons along the bottom of this slide which would launch additional layers. Each layer would contain information about my education, professional experience, and work samples. The work samples layer used hotspots to launch the actual sample interactions provided.

The Result
