The new webspace, Web 2.0 has changed the way business is done, consumers are satisfied, employers employ job candidates and jobseekers apply for jobs. Now, jobseekers can publish their CVs online in a visual format that transforms the way resume data is presented, accessed and shared.
Some Nigerian web 2.0 companies are poised to adopt these technologies to help professionals publish their CVs for free. One of them is cvcrib.com, where Nigerian professionals can build and share an online resume with their own web address. The signup process is fast and easy. Check it out here…
With cvcrib.com, you can:
- Create an online portfolio with internal links to your CV and also separate categories for accomplishments, education, work history, references, etc.
- Join the CVcrib Lounge, an online forum and community where you can meet other people and discuss your careers interests.
However, cvcrib.com does not have features such as images, video, audio, etc like in other visual cv sites such as visualcv.com
Below is a preview of my online portfolio on cvcrib.com
Some of the benefits using Visual CVs such as the one provided by cvcrib.com include:
- It allows you to access your resume anywhere you are as long as you have an internet connection.
- You can edit or change your CV easily online to match desired jobs.
- It allows you make your CV publicly viewable or restrict access with a password.
- It makes you stand out from the crowd when you refer employers to your online portfolio.
- You can also interact with others for purposes of networking, discussing interests, career progression and business development.
In a future article, I’ll be discussing other ways you can use visual cvs to make a better presentation of your career experience.
To your career success!
