Making a list of your top accomplishments is required if you are going to interview well. It also rebuilds your self-esteem as you recall the many achievements you have had through out your life.

My friend told me that "Old Fashioned" written resumes are out, and I that I should either create a website of my qualifications, or do a video resume. What do you think?
