(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. Serious concerns regarding high production expense and possible discrimination by hiring companies based on candidate appearance have been raised by Fortune 500 companies and career guidance advice professionals who specialize in providing tips for job hunting in today's market.
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.
Desmond Stinnie, CEO and co-founder of My Ad Box, Inc., says of their new product, "Audio Resume reinforces our commitment to putting innovative messaging solutions at the fingertips of the consumer. Our goal is to make sophisticated messaging products that are easily accessible and easy to use for the general consumer."
