#Do you have a 140 character resume?: Call it Twesume!

Santa Claus: World traveler and toy expert. 300+ years management experience. Looking for position in entertainment industry. http://tinyurl.com/c9ursdp #twesume
Found this interesting read on Mashable. Twesume, its Twitter+Resume. Yes resume!. I have always struggled in writing a short and proper resume but this is just beautiful.  I just wrote mine and it looks real cool. 
Its known that many companies now hire through social platforms. If you have come across this for the first time then you should check this post on how the British Intelligence uses Twitter for recruiting. Twesumes help job seekers get noticed by companies who use social recruiting. With the Twesume, a job seeker can introduce himself and engage with an employer in less time (and space) than a traditional resume and cover letter could ever manage

A 140 character resume will definitely standout. It is a very important task to add as much value possible to these 140 characters. There is no space for smilelies. 
While writing one, make sure you include some basic parts like what you do, an accomplishment, a goal, skills and/or a link to a detailed profile or website.
