Introduction - Rézumé^TM 101

Rézumé, pronounced résumé but spelled with a Z, gives job seekers a brand-spanking new way to promote, manage and send their career information from one centralized location. Rézumé is so much more than an online version of your résumé. Think of it as your own Internet career portal with loads of tools to manage your career search in the same way a large corporation would manage their marketing campaign. After all, that's what you're doing, right? You're marketing yourself. As a Rézumé member, you get all of these great features - absolutely free. (No kidding.)

If you've used the Internet to find a job, you've probably noticed that simplicity ends when the actual application begins. Some employers want your résumé formatted in MS Word, others want Text and still others want PDF. Oy vey! If that weren't enough, some online job boards and hiring managers want you to fill-out another lengthy online application, even when your résumé says the same thing. But, at Rézumé, we think this is ridiculous. It shouldn't be a full-time job to find a job. So here, you have a universal or portable résumé, easily converted into lots of formats and used across multiple career and employer sites. Isn't that easier? Rézumé can help you supercharge your career.

Having a beautiful Rézumé isn't enough. Employers also need to see it. So we've made it easier to distribute your Rézumé through several different channels, without ever recreating your original data. How novel! Whether you need to fax it to Patsy's Plush and Puff Pillows, email it to Electric Electronics or post it on job boards or search engines, Rézumé has got you covered.

Sure, Rézumés look great. But they're also extremely functional. Unlike traditional résumés, a Rézumé is interactive with built-in tools that encourage communication and simplify interaction with those ever-so-important employers. It's a powerful career portal eliminating duplicate data-entry and making it that much easier for potential employers to chat with you and see just how amazing you truly are.

Oh and by the way, did we mention how cool it looks? They're so cool, even if you are a designer or programmer you will find using Rézumé a no brainer. But don't just take our word for it.

Use Rézumé to track all of your distributions and views in one central location. So when you send it to the Wall of Widgets, you'll see when and if they actually read it. This gives you so much more control over your job search. You'll know when to follow-up, what messages work and which don't. Just think of the power you'll have at the interview when you know your Rézumé was viewed twice a day everyday for the past week. You could even call Wall of Widgets 10 minutes after your Rézumé was read. They will think it's destiny. You'll know its Rézumé.

Protection of your personal data is critical in the modern job market. Why? Most candidates are passive job seekers, meaning they already have a job and are concerned about dismissal if their search is discovered by the wrong people. That's why Rézumé protects you with lots of security features including the ability to password protect your Rézumé and inactivation of all your distributions from one single place. We understand the delicate nature of job hunting and we are here to help.

Not all job seekers are in the same. So why do traditional job boards and career sites assume they are? At Rézumé we understand that there is a spectrum of job seekers from, "I have to pay the rent tomorrow" candidate to the "Rockstar" that wants to know what's out there but is tired of being harassed by headhunters. With Rézumé we give you campaigns tailored to your particular needs that allow you to effectively market yourself regardless of your status.
