Default VOT Resume Profile
First I have to say I am so excited to finally have my domain name registered!! I am currently working on my website and am off and running to open my Virtual doors.

I was reviewing a job board and they asked for a VOT Resume Profile. I have seen other requests for a profile on the RFP board in these forums as well. I have a regular resume but I know as a business owner I should be sending out something different. What is a VOT Resume Profile and how does it differ from a regular resume?

You could include information such as Education, Skills and Technology/Equipment, Certifications, and of course Employment Background. Include information sets that will help PC want to choose you as the most qualified individual.

This information is similar to a resume as you want to get your personal qualifications across but you also want to touch on your business qualifications to. You do not need to list employment dates but company, position and experience as it pertains to your VA services will be most helpful. If you have specialized software or trainings add that section.

Hope this helps explain it.

Thanks so much Lee! Is there any particular format that should be used or do you use a general resume format?

Hi
Family and friends tend to ask for my advice when putting together a resume. I would suggest you summarize all your accomplishments and qualifications in a short letter. Beyond a sales pitch. Creatively insert skills' experience and certifications. Break out from the traditional formats. You want to be set apart from the rest.

Hi Neasie,
Thanks for the suggestions. Creativity is not my forte but I'll give it a shot.
