Summary/Abstract: We start from the assumption that new communication media are likely to trigger modifications of existing genres and enable the emergence of hybrid forms as a result of new communicative purposes and requirements. The article discusses the résumé genre rooted in print media and argues that it is on the verge of breaking out of its formula in the new environment of the Web, which accommodates sophisticated online résumé builders. At the same time, the deeply entrenched multimodal essence and page-based nature of résumés are called in to support the discussion of new ways of conceptualizing, constructing and making use of these artefacts.
