The current unemployment rate is staggaring. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the number of unemployed persons rose by 592,000 to 9.4 million in August 2008.
With this hard data statistic, you need every edge that you can find in the job market. NUresume.com located in Pleasanton, California just may be that edge that is needed.
The first thing that comes to mind when you see the site, is the YouTube“ish” feeling it has. The site is very interactive. NUresume is the first global Student Resume Network for students to create an online resume portfolio page to market themselves as well as find projects and internships.
NUresume Star Student Contest is the first resume contest where students compete for exclusive internships and apprenticeship, along with a trophy and media coverage.
To be competitive, students need to build an online professional identity to stand out. In addition, they are making it easier for students to find short term projects that enhance their classroom learning and build experience for the resume. Companies love the fact that they can leverage the almost 18 million students for entry level work that is currently being outsourced. NUresume wants to “bring work back home!”
They have some interesting things such as “Ask the Coach” and boast other features such as:
1. Get a Personalized URL
2. Create a resume that Stands Out!
3. Upload your Portfolio
In closing, I think if an employer can see how someone presents themselves in advance, it can be a time consuming service for both employer and employee. It can give a job applicant an edge if they “present themselves” well as am employer might want to act quicker to “get them in the door.”
