I read the eDragou blog for his productivity and mind-mapping posts. He is currently running a contest with a free license for MindManager 6 as the prize –a $349.00 value.
To enter the contest, you have to create a resume using a mind map. (If you’re not familiar with the concept, you can read this entry on mind mapping.) Dragos even implies the finished product could be used to apply for a job. As a side question for recruiters, “How many of you would consider a resume submitted as a mind map?”
I’m not planning to enter, as I’m already a registered user of MindManager, but I’m tempted to update my resume using a mind map as part of the process.
For those who might be interested in entering, here are the rules:
* You must submit a mind map for a resume. Think how you can use mind mapping to make a resume not only easy to read and understand, but also interesting, challenging, and interview-prone, so to speak. And yes, it could even be your resume, how about that for a self-promoting technique!
* You must submit a real mind map, not an image of your mind map. You can keep your copyrights as you see fit, just make sure you clearly put this somewhere on the mind map
* You must have a blog. I think everybody today has a blog, from your aunt Amelia to the best geek in the hood. If you still don’t have a blog, maybe that will be an incentive to create one, who knows?
* You must display the badge below on your blog, linked to this post. It can be in the sidebar, or only in a self-promoting post of yourself in this contest, in the footer, in the header, wherever you see fit, as long as it pings this page.
