Step 5: Combine text and visuals in Powerpoint
The great thing about Powerpoint is that you can effortlessly combine text and visuals. Pictures alone make a nice slide show, but without content. A presentation with only text is boring and ignores a visual story. Therefore, combine both. Include a short text with each picture: the sentences that you formulated earlier, for example for each topic.
Step 6: Share
Once you have followed all the steps and are happy with the result, it is time list to data to share your visual resume with the world. All you need to do is import your Powerpoint presentation to Slideshare . Creating an account is easy if you already have a Facebook or Linkedin account. After uploading your PowerPoint file, all that remains is to click on the social media buttons and import it to your Linkedin profile.
