VisualCV For Students

In a job search you need to present your skills and personality to differentiate you from other applicants. This is not always an easy task with your traditional resume. That piece of paper is no longer enough to communicate your potential and convince employers that you're right for the job.

In today's fast-paced and online world, a VisualCV is the best tool for you to demonstrate your passion and skills when looking for a job. You can showcase your achievements, education, extracurricular activities and capabilities translating them into marketable skills with a VisualCV.

Show future employers you have the necessary capabilities for the position you want. Include writing samples, class projects, transcripts, professor recommendations, and more to show, not tell, your talents and passion.

We know it's tough to compete against other professionals. Get your edge with a VisualCV.

VisualCV gives you a better way to build a resume and your future. With a VisualCV you can:

• Show vs. Tell: You can highlight more than work experiences by showcasing your achievements with a portfolio of writing samples and class projects, images, letters of recommendation, transcripts, video, charts, graphs, and more. You need to prove to employers that you will make a contribution to their organization. Showing your passion and abilities in a VisualCV will do this for you.

• Network: Networking is critical in a job search and often leads to referrals and recommendations for open positions. Network at VisualCV by sharing your VisualCV directly with other VisualCV community members (you can also share it outside the community).
• Control Your Privacy: Maintain control over who sees your VisualCV, and when. You can set your VisualCV to public or private and decide who sees your information. We offer you guaranteed privacy with no backdoors for recruiters or marketers.
• Since many employers research prospective candidates on Google or in facebook, your online persona needs to become and remain professional. If you chose to make your VisualCV public, your VisualCV will display in the search results. What better way is there to impress hiring managers?
• Reach Out to Companies: You can share your VisualCV with hundreds of companies at VisualCV. But, you can also share your VisualCV outside of the system to any company you want to work for, and track who views it.
• Manage your job search: Track and manage all views of your VisualCVs. When you share your VisualCV with a professional or with a company, you can track views. We tell you who looks at your VisualCV and when. With this information you have more control over your job search.
• Go Portable: Include your VisualCV's URL in postings at online job boards, in your e-mail signature, on your facebook or LinkedIn profile and anywhere else you want to showcase your professional credentials.
• Keep your options open: You can create an unlimited number of free VisualCVs for different audiences - prospective employers, classmates and friends, tailoring each one for a specific purpose or job opportunity.
• Keep your cash: Joining and using VisualCV is totally FREE. Spend the money on a suit for your interview or save it for a rainy day. You can use our site as much as you want--it will only cost you time.

Step 1: Create & Enrich

Take the QuickStart Tour for a quick intro.
Online Help provides comprehensive information.

Creating a VisualCV involves building VisualCV text sections (such as contact information, objectives, and work and education history) and then enriching your VisualCV with multimedia items from your portfolio (such as class projects, volunteer activities, letters of recommendation, images and more).

Step 2: Share

Sharing a VisualCV involves checking your VisualCV's privacy settings, telling us who you want to share your VisualCV with, and managing shares you've sent and received.

Step 3: Reach Out (when ready)

VisualCV has over 700 companies interested in receiving VisualCVs from interested candidates. Express interest in working for those companies by sharing your VisualCV with them. Don't see a company you want to work for on our list? Use the e-mail share feature at VisualCV to send your VisualCV any and everywhere.

Step 4: Manage

Once you get a job with your VisualCV, you should keep your VisualCV membership. You can create a public version for an online professional bio. Or, you can take your VisualCV offline. Doing so means it's not visible to anyone but you. This way you still have all of the information at your fingertips should you ever need it again. Additionally, our Portfolio is a great place for you to "lock away" work samples until you're ready to start searching for the next job.

Incredibly easy to build, update and share, a VisualCV gives you the edge you need.
