Print and Online Resume Portfolios

 

Don't get lost in the shuffle....more than ever, job seekers need to separate themselves from the competition. That means utilizing new techniques to get prospective employers’ attention, techniques such as creating an online resume or online portfolio.

An online resume or ‘E-Resume’ is either an email version of your resume or a small website set-up so that with just a couple of clicks, you can send out your resume, either in the email, as an attachment, or as a link, to potential employers. Within seconds your potential employer will receive it in his or her email box, something visited far more frequently than a postal mailbox. E-Resumes get the job done faster and more efficiently!

If you choose to turn your E-Resume into a website, you have the opportunity to showcase your personality, and if depending on your professional, examples of your work! Eye-catching colors and even a professional-looking photo of yourself can give your potential employer an idea of your personality and level of creativity.

Standout with an Online Resume

Choose from a one page resume or a several page resume website. Add page hosting or use a generic name within our website. Employers can contact using your email address.

For instance you could use a home page as an introduction page, an ‘About’ page as you would a cover letter, a ‘Resume’ page that houses the same material as your actual resume. You could also add your job references.

How Our Resume Service Works

If you have a particular job position or job description you are applying for send us that information as well. The more detailed your submitted information is, the better your resume package will be. If you do not have a current resume just fill out the questionnaire form.

What is a Scanable Resume?
Some employers (mainly larger ones) keep resumes in a database. Your resume would be scanned into their system. Scanable resumes require certain page layouts.
