UNC Chapel Hill Career Services Partners with OptimalResume.com, Inc. to Develop State of the Art Resume-Builder Software for Students
OptimalResume.com, Inc. program developed for colleges and universities offers students free resume services while creating an income stream for the school by marketing affinity services to alumni.
(PRWEB) March 28, 2005 -- When Marcia Harris, Director of Career Services at
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, received a call from Mark McNasby,
Vice President of OptimalResume.com and UNC-Chapel Hill graduate, the timing was
perfect. Marcia Harris had been looking for ways to help her students create
higher-quality resumes and to free up her some of her counselors for other
important tasks. OptimalResume.com had been seeking a niche to focus its
innovative resume-builder software, which helps users create top-notch resumes
from scratch and offers the advantage of creating an interactive resume website
that facilitates online job searches.
Now, after months of collaborative
development, UNC-Chapel Hill students can use the OptimalResume Builder™ to
create and manage their resumes for free. In addition to creating a standard
Microsoft Word ® document, the software creates links in three different
formats:
Flash™ format - http://unc.confidentialresume.com/kellymorgan
Word®
compatible format - http://unc.confidentialresume.com/kellymorgan.rtf
HTML
format - http://unc.confidentialresume.com/kellymorgan.html
“Not
only are students able to build strong resumes in a short amount of time with
the OptimalResume Builder™, but also they can package them and disseminate them
as needed,” Mrs. Harris said. “This software is a real advance for us and
demonstrates our continuing commitment to improving the services we offer our
students. A student can now have their resume link on a business card rather
than having to send a hard copy or email an attachment.”
For online job
searches, using links has many advantages, and the student can activate or
deactivate their resumes once they find a job. In addition, the Flash™ version
of the resume can include a university-specific identification or logo. Once
students become alumni, they can continue to use the resume builder for a
nominal fee and update their resume as their career progresses.
Todd
Lempicke, President of OptimalResume.com, Inc. said, “We have structured this
program so that we can very easily add new institutions interested in offering
the OptimalResume Builder™ to their students. We custom fit the product for each
institution to reflect its academic focus and programs. Our goal is to provide
students with the tools that will enable them to get out there and be successful
in the job market.”
