Use your VisualCV on Job Sites like Monster, CareerBuilder and Dice

When you're looking for a new job, get better results with a VisualCV. Add your VisualCV to any online resume or job-posting site. Then, only use keywords to optimize being found in searches. When you come up at the top of a search, the company can see an overview of you by clicking the URL to your VisualCV resume. Everything a recruiter needs to see will be instantly accessible and up-to-date (and your VisualCV tracks results back to you!).

VISUALCV URLs: Add a link to your VisualCV in your favorite online resume or job-posting site and control how much of your information gets viewed and stored on these sites.

KEYWORDS: Add keywords to optimize being found in searches. The more relevant the keyword, the more likely you will stand out when an employer or recruiter searches the system.

Take back control of your information on job sites.

Use VisualCV to Land Your Dream Job

Looking for a new job? Want to impress HR and the hiring manager? Build a VisualCV and apply for the position you really want. The format and features of a VisualCV will automatically help you stand out in the crowd.

VisualCV.com gives you a new way to present your credentials online. The VisualCV's compelling Internet-based resume format allows you to differentiate yourself and control distribution of your information. It's easy to create multiple versions of your VisualCV for different audiences.

Once you have a VisualCV you can share it directly with company members to securely and privately show interest in a position at that company.

You can also share it with friends and colleagues in your own professional network. You can actively and privately let your networks know you are seeking a new position. And, you will shine to all who see your credentials when using a VisualCV.

Using a VisualCV as a Self-authored Web Bio

Don't like the bio that shows up when you Google your name? Use your public VisualCV as your self-authored biography for Internet indexing on Google, Yahoo!, and other search engines. Once the VisualCV is indexed in the search engines anyone who searches your name can see the bio you wrote and control. And, since you can update the VisualCV at anytime, all who see it will have access to your most recent version.

WEB PRESENCE: Your public VisualCVs will be indexed in major search engines. It's a great way for you to proactively promote yourself, with content you create.

Use VisualCV as a Business Networking Tool

Not looking for a job but want to share your background and experience with colleagues, customers or acquaintances?

Use a VisualCV as a way to present your background and current company information in networking situations.

Ways to use your VisualCV as a business networking tool:

• Email your VisualCV URL to prospective customers, partners or employers before tomorrow's coffee meeting. Typically you would not send your resume before this meeting, but a tailored VisualCV is the perfect way to introduce yourself and present your professional experience in advance of the meeting. Your contact can see your background and specialties (and be impressed) before you meet.
• Include the URL to your VisualCV on your business card. Everyone can learn more about you by visiting your URL.
• Add your VisualCV's URL to your e-mail signature. New contacts can learn about your background and current contacts can keep up to date with your latest accomplishments.
• Send the link to your VisualCV with your next business pitch. Instead of a basic biography your potential new client will receive your visually compelling portfolio.
• You can expand your professional network by meeting other professionals within the VisualCV.com community. You can network with new and interesting VisualCV.com members by searching for people with particular skills and interests.

Add a Link to Your VisualCV on Your Blog

Put a link to your VisualCV on your blog or website so your readers can learn about you. Your "about me" VisualCV lets your readers keep up-to-date with your recent accomplishments.

Linking from your blog to your VisualCV allows readers to learn more about you in a visually compelling and dynamic way (by viewing your VisualCV).

Highlight your VisualCV in your Facebook, MySpace or LinkedIn Profiles

Stand out in LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace and more!

Add your VisualCV URL as a website in your profile to get more out of your involvement in these communities. This way your contacts can keep up with your latest professional accomplishments.

Adding your VisualCV's URL lets you remain connected with your most up-to-date information!
