What people are saying about VisualCV
Here are some initial reactions to VisualCV. Do you have a success story from using a VisualCV? .
"...you made it easy for us to hire you because you packed so much information on to one screen. We printed out the CV and passed it around. Those on the team who wanted to see more could easily do so. The screen CV acted like a portal for all your credentials. We look forward to working with you..."
- Company that received a VisualCV for an open position
"If you are also tired of the drab and want to stick out from everyone else, consider joining me and tens of thousands of other global users of the VisualCV software as a service and transform your meaningless one-dimensional resume into a 3-D visual representation of who you are."
- Ari Herzog, Social Media Consultant
"Every corporate recruiter will want to receive VisualCVs."
"VisualCV allows me to build a presence, hear directly from interested candidates, and get a well-rounded view of their fit from their VisualCV. With the ongoing popularity and importance being place on social media, it's just good business sense to have recruiting methodologies match today's virtual and socially-networked world. We're looking forward to tapping into this talent resource."
- Michael Marlatt, Recruiting Consultant, Search Wizards at Microsoft
"In our business we see a lot of companies trying to innovate through new technologies. However, we rarely see innovation capable of transforming an entire industry. VisualCV replaces the resume with a powerful tool that, for the first time, represents a professional online in a secure and thorough manner."
- Jason Weisberger, COO, Federated Media
"I work in the fields of advertising and website development, and it is so perfect to be able to have such a gorgeous multi-media resume online. And with minimal effort!"
- Kaylin Greene, Design & Workflow Manager, Greenberg Brand Strategy
"Students graduating and applying for jobs should use VisualCV. The features of a VisualCV empower graduates to represent their skills in a much richer and robust manner than the standard resume. And, as they grow their careers they should continue to use a VisualCV to present themselves professionally and build their career portfolios — a VisualCV is a great tool that can be carried throughout one's career. We plan on making this a standard service for our graduates in the future."
- Robert Reid, Dean, College of Business at James Madison University
"I wanted to let you know that yesterday I had 6 phone interviews with a job opportunity. All of the folks that I spoke with were either North America or Global Department heads. With the exception of one person who was traveling, each of them had my VisualCV up in front of them while talking to me and we were able to discuss some of the multi-media content that I have attached to my VisualCV. Without exception they all were very impressed with the VisualCV system and their access to the content made our discussion move along very well.
Thanks, VisualCV. I landed my next home in less than 4 weeks as opposed to the 6 months most Executive recruiting firms expected that this would take."
- Eli Neumann, VP Global Pre-Sales, NetSuite
"A prospective employer asked me for a handful of items, just to be considered. They wanted a bio, a headshot, samples of written work product, references and more. I wanted to do more than just reply to an email and add a bunch of attachments.
I happened upon VisualCV and found it capable of capturing my entire history and skillset in a professional, concise, yet comprehensive way. (I was actually looking for info to create my own website as I figured that would be the most professional response.)
I got the job over the phone during my first interview! So now, I've changed my VisualCV to include my new role and I use it as a business card. I've received so many compliments on it."
- Carol Anderson, RN, BSN, CHPN
"There have been extraordinary changes in the careers field during the 20 years that I've been involved, and it's about time the resume caught up! Words on paper are not enough anymore for professionals to stand out in a sea of qualified candidates. The revolutionary capability of the VisualCV's web-based, multimedia platform is exactly what they need. And VisualCV's unique networking capabilities will help them manage their career for the long term. I plan to recommend VisualCV to all my clients to help them be distinctive and memorable to hiring managers, colleagues, customers, and business partners."
- Louise Kursmark, President, Best Impression Career Services, Inc.
"VisualCV is the evolution of the paper resume. I love the convenience and 'WOW!' factor!"
"The VisualCV gives me and my department more information about a candidate up front, allowing us to evaluate candidates quickly and ultimately find individuals who are a great fit for our company. Everyone should apply to jobs with a VisualCV because you can uniquely display skills and interests. It's a win-win situation for candidates and human resources."
"Besides being able to just email a link to a prospective employer and the ability to update my CV at any time and ensure that everyone can access the latest version; the thing I really like is being able to provide my portfolio of samples of my previous work projects. This is something that you cannot do with a traditional CV."
"Valhalla invests in companies that will innovate and challenge existing markets. We invested in VisualCV because we know that they will fundamentally change the way people look for jobs and manage their careers."
"I am a designer and when looking for work, I now make sure all my business cards, resumes, cover letters and emails contain my VisualCV link. To have simple upload access to short videos, images and sections of background history allows an artist to truly display the largest internet business card that exists."
- Michael Leon, senior graphic designer
"VisualCV reinvents the paper resume into a dynamic career management tool. Intridea partnered with VisualCV because we believe their approach will revolutionize the way companies and professionals interact. Using breakthrough Internet technologies, we worked with VisualCV to build a unique platform that delivers highly interactive user experience as well as a secure mechanism for sharing resume content."
"VisualCV is awesome. I'm using VisualCV to share my professional background and experience with my existing and potential client base."
- Chris Spagnuolo, agile evangelist and project manager
I got my job because of VisualCV. I came across your site when I was searching for some unique ways to create a social media profile page with links to my work on Twitter and other social networks. A recruiter at a staffing firm I was working with was impressed with the site and asked about some of the presentation on my Slideshare link. He said they were talking about these topics and he invited me to deliver one of the presentations to the firm's management team. I presented to the management team and one thing led to another - they created the perfect position for me and I am now part of that management team. Thank you, VisualCV."
