Jack DeManche
I’m Jack. I'm a recent graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Presently I'm serving as the Digital Media Manager for CampusLIVE in Boston, MA.
I am a Digital Native/ Millennial/ Leader/ Entrepreneurial Minded/ Small Business Owner/ Casanova of sorts/ Son and Friend. I take pleasure in having a fine good time with my friends and meeting new people. I’ve been known to be fairly sarcastic and rather charismatic just to name a few of my more notable characteristics. If you want to know more just ask, chances are I'd like to talk to you...

Last week, my MBTA styled resume was featured on BostInno.com, a Boston based media site covering innovation and word from around the Hub.
It came as a bit of a surprise, but I was happy to share the resume and drop some knowledge on personal branding, resumes, and a bit of my creative process.
Here is a repost of the article:
Before snagging his current position as the Digital Media Manager at CampusLIVE, Jack DeManche was on the job hunt. In order to catch the attention of recruiters, DeManche decided to take his résumé to the next level — by designing it after the T map. Yes, really.
Each line on the map is dedicated to a different area of DeManche’s expertise, from his social media skills to leadership experience. He even changed the “T” to a “J” to better reflect his name. It’s cheesy, but hey, it’s certainly clever. We grabbed a few minutes with DeManche to get some insights on the inspiration behind his résumé and how to make yourself stand out.
How did you come up with the idea to model your résumé after the MBTA?
When I was in school, applying for jobs, I knew I wanted to work in the Boston area, so a lot of inspiration derived from that. Also, anyone can submit a résumé and claim to be creative, have design skills, etc. But at the end of the day, you’re still submitting a black and white piece of paper. Nothing creative about that at all. Why say you’re a creative person, when you can show it?
Did you actually share it with potential employers? If so, what kind of feedback did you receive?
I did submit it to a few places I applied for. If nothing else, it got me a call or in the door. A person in HR sees hundreds of bland, boring, typical résumés every day, so when something visually appealing comes across their desk, they tend to take notice.
Do you have any other ideas for visual résumés?
I have five or six different versions of my visual résumé. I tried something different for each of them, but the MBTA one was the biggest hit.
Any advice for job seekers out there?
I’m a huge proponent of trying different things and distinguishing yourself to get attention, but something like this only really works in certain industries. I was looking for jobs at startups, agencies and places that creative minds are given some free-range. If you’re applying for a job in finance or something a bit more straight-laced, this might not be your best bet.
There was an overwhelmingly supportive response (190+ Facebook likes, 85+ Tweets, 20+ LinkedIn shares, etc) including a rousing number of tweets to my personal account!
Big thanks to the wonderful writer Lisa DeCanio for featuring, the folks at BostInnno and everyone who shared the post with their networks!

Ordinary (or·di·nar·y)
Adjective:
1. With no special or distinctive features; normal.
Synonyms: common – usual – regular – normalExtraordinary (ex·traor·di·nar·y)
Adjective:
1. Very unusual or remarkable.
2. Unusually great.
Synonyms: uncommon – unusual – singular – remarkable – exceptionalWhat’s different between the two? Extra.
Everyone and everything, without extra, is just ordinary. If you’re willing to give a little extra, you can become extraordinary.
Being extraordinary wont happen being satisfied with being ordinary.
Take a moment and think about the people who you define as successful, affluent, wealthy, thought leaders, etc. How ordinary are they? Do you think they got their without giving extra? I doubt it.
So, think it’s time to give a little more? I think so.

“I’m a recovering multi-tasker. Multitasking is even worse than smoking marijuana. Your IQ drops 10 points. I used to think I was a great multi-tasker. Not so. We waste 2.1 hours per day multitasking. The average person is interrupted every 11 minutes, and it takes 20 minutes to get back on task. If you elliminate waste time, you can produce more output.”

In May of 2011 I graduated from college and a week later moved to Boston. I was catapulted into this start-up/Boston lifestyle and it has been a very exhilarating 8 months. The transition from the academic Western Massachusetts behaviors, to the Boston Start-Up community has been a bit overwhelming at times, but I can safely say I think I am finally at a place to take on a new goal: Meeting more people. It isn’t always easy being one of the youngest people in a room full of experienced thought leaders, CEO’s, VC’s, business people and so on and so forth. In fact, it is at times even rather intimidating. However, I recently had a tremendous revelation with the help of my good friend and colleague Jay Acunzo, which was, “Ya gotta just go for it.”
With the recent flurry of events and social gatherings around the Hub, I decided to implement my new found social disposition and challenge myself to meet and connect with more people. And so far, so good… But I can do more.
So what’s in it for me?
Nothing…really. I subscribe to a very simple networking ideology, “network like isn’t networking.” At this point you’re likely asking yourself, “what the heck does that mean?!” And the short answer is, I just want to meet people and talk/learn about their experiences. The long answer, is my aspiration of building genuine relationships with people, helping when/where I can, and becoming more of a valuable resource within the community.The more you know the better and what better way to learn then from others? So lets create value together!
So how can you help?
Two ways, thanks for asking.1. Get in touch. Below you’ll find my contact info. Reach out and lets plan a time to get together and chat.
2. Make an introduction. Do you know someone who I should meet? Know someone who should meet me? Make the introduction and we’ll make the proper arrangements.
This is only the beginning of a tremendous opportunity and I am wholeheartedly looking forward to connecting with YOU, so get in touch and lets make it happen!
