    The history of resumes shows how they have evolved from simple text documents in the 1960s, when interests and hobbies were first included, to digital and multimedia formats today. In the 1970s, typewriters and word processors made resumes more professional, while the 1980s saw the rise of video portfolios and career counseling books. The internet in the 1990s enabled emailing resumes, and interactive online resumes emerged around 2000 alongside the growth of sites like Optimal Resume. Now, resumes trend toward brevity but incorporate more visuals, multimedia, and links to social media profiles.
