Engage thrusters
Before you start thinking about the design of your own prezumé, you should first watch other prezumés and get inspired. Here are three nice examples, you'll also find them online on www.prezihotshot.com. You will find other examples in the Explore section on Prezi.com. Just search for prezume and you'll find thousands of prezumés.
The first example is a prezumé in a loose layout, complete with coffee stains as shown in the following screenshot:
The second example is the story of Mandi Lindner told in a very nice way! It's build up with the subjects iLearn, iAdapt, and iGrow via iProduce and iWill, and ends with iCan in the overview, as shown in the following screenshot:
The last example is the impressive prezumé of Krista Moroder, Director of Learning for Instructional Technology & Library Media for the Kettle Moraine School District in Wisconsin, as shown in the following screenshot:
Of course, there are lots of ideas you can use for your prezumé, maybe the following ideas will help you to create your own unique design:
- Use a timeline to list your education, job experience, and skills in a chronological order.
- Use a book as a metaphor for your prezumé—the book of you.
- Instead of a book, you could use a whiteboard, desktop, computer, plain paper, or a company building as a metaphor for your prezumé. A lot of other metaphors are possible depending on the job you are searching.
- Create a poster.
- Use a really cool image that expresses your passion.
- Use your photograph as the basis for your prezumé. This doesn't work for all job applications because you might emphasize yourself too much.
- Use your name and put all the information. You literally dive into your life to show what your skills and experiences are. You can do the same with the job you want and the name (or logo) of the company where you want to work.
- Use an infographic style for your prezumé. There are lots of nice symbols available in Prezi for this.
If you find it hard to find a good creative idea for your prezumé, just use a template. Prezi.com has three nice templates available that you can use right away.
- The first template is a timeline to present your career in a chronological way as shown in the following screenshot:
- The second template is an example of a desktop, a perfect way to show your skills and experience, as shown in the following screenshot:
- The third template example is a whiteboard with a lot of space to show your creativity, as shown in the following screenshot:
