It takes a lot these days to have your curriculum vitae or r\u00e9sum\u00e9 noticed.<\/p>\n

LinkedIn, the popular professional network site now claims \u201c187 million members\u201d according to a company press release.<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal<\/a> reported that Starbucks received 7.6 million applications for 65,000 openings; an average of 115 submissions per job. In a separate blog post<\/a>, the WSJ revealed that in the fourth quarter of 2011 the \u201cnumber of applications submitted per job opening fell to 118\u2026 from 187 during the same period in 2010.\u2033<\/p>\n

The best way to get your c.v. noticed is of course through personal connections. There is nothing more effective than meeting the right manager or recruiter at the right time (just before they are planning to open a position).<\/p>\n

Another way, specifically in the creative industries, is to publish a creative c.v. and post it on Pinterest. Below are a few of my favorite creative c.v.\u2019s.<\/a> If your C.V. fits the bill, let me know and I’ll republish it.<\/p>\n
