(PRWeb) January 9, 2007 -- Video resumes are quickly becoming a popular internet job hunting tool, especially among job seekers conducting their first career job search out of college. While a video job hunting resume may effectively separate these applicants from the pack, their use may not be the best resume format in practice.

Audio Resume has been launched by My Ad Box, Inc. as a high benefit, low risk strategic job hunting alternative to video resumes.

Those answers are captured in an audio file, and then a unique URL is appointed that allows visitors to listen. Candidates can then include this for the best resume format, along with placement of the URL on cover letter submissions and as a link on their web-based career site profiles.

Our goal is to make sophisticated messaging products that are easily accessible and easy to use for the general consumer."
Professional tips for job hunting in today's market dictate that in addition to well presented resumes, creative self-marketing elements are critical to best resume format practice, and to making the initial applicant screening cut.
