Job seekers look for interesting ways to stand out to potential employers, and interactive resumes and web portfolios are a great way to maintain a living, current work archive that is easily accessible.
A new player in this space is Magntize.
Magntize has created a simply to use, combination vCard-resume application that can have an individual’s information on the web – with a personalized domain – in minutes.
Customizable Templates for Job Search
One of Magntize’s key attractions is the library of creative templates available. Each template includes areas for keywords, contact information, an image, multiple link fields to websites of choice, a Bio/Resume area, and a vCard download.
While the basic, free package has attractive templates to choose from, the Pro version ($9.00 per month), has a broader range of premium themes that are stunning in design and simplicity, and include a resume download capability, email forwarding, a custom domain, and an RSS Feed. The Pro version also includes an iPhone/iPod touch site feature.
Integrating Social Media and Keeping it Fresh
For those active in various social media, all versions of Magntize feature real-time updates of a user’s selected public timelines such as Twitter, personal blogs, business blogs, image websites and others. Magntize has integrated with third-party sites that focus on their area of expertise (photos, videos, file sharing, etc). Rather than re-create an application that already exists, Magntize is designed to serve as a hub for all of a user’s web content.
The user selects which of these public timelines to include as live feeds, in addition to including direct links to the specific websites. This keeps a user’s Magntize site continuously updated and fresh, and creates an interesting, dynamic presentation of a candidate’s qualifications, history, personal communication style, and active network. More important, it allows the job seeker to direct the viewer to information they choose.
