Do you wish you could do more to make your resume stand out? Now you have the opportunity to show them who you really are!
"iAdverto is a new innovative way to send your rèsumè. It's for individuals to show off their special skills and talents," said J. Frantz Dorilas, Co-Founder of iAdverto. "Students have the ability to go to onto the site and actually create personalized pages. They can market themselves and standout from the competition." said Dorilas. iAdverto recognizes the value of resumes to represent past work experience. However, resumes are very one-dimensional and make everyone look the same. With an iAdverto profile, users can distinguish themselves and communicate why they are best suited for the job in a way that resumes can't.
iAdverto, which went live in 2006, highlights students as professionals entering the job market. "It shows the better side of a person without all the intimate and personal information that is on display in other social networking sites."
Here's how it works: The first step is for the student to register. The system will then walk the student through all the information needed. "Students can list why they should get hired for this job," said Dorilas. "The great thing about this site is that you can choose from different templates." Students have the opportunity to enter a unique selling proposition, "Hire me because..." Dorilas said. "One of the greatest things about this site is that you can upload an audio or video clip which can really show the employer your creativity and communication skills." After the student finishes the easy steps, the personalized page is instantly available to send to employers.
"The goal is to provide a competitive edge. Resumes are necessary to explain past job experiences; however, they fall short in conveying a unique message about why the jobseeker is best for the job. An iAdverto profile enhances the job search by adding more depth and dimension to help employers select right candidates. Employers will know that the individual took an innovative step in aiding their career."
This website is free for students or graduates looking for an opportunity to make their rèsumè come to life. Currently, students can intern at iAdverto throughout the year in marketing, journalism, and web design. "Students can learn day-to-day operations, running an online business, critical thinking, networking skills and project management."
"The site is free and easy to use." For further information about iAdverto, contact J. Frantz Dorilas at fdorilas@iadverto.com or 908-754-2777.
