FutureResume.com Announces ProPage, a Personal Career Portfolio URL to Aid Job Seekers in Finding the Best Jobs : New Hiring Tool Gives Job Seekers a Professional Edge in the Job Search   FutureResume.com, the new video hiring process and job board, today announced ProPage, a personal career portfolio URL containing a job seeker’s video introduction, paper resume and references, that is given free to every job seeker registered on FutureResume.com. ProPage is a powerful job search tool in that it’s a link to the seeker’s personal ProPage that can be sent to any potential employer or professional contact the job seeker knows, whether or not the company works with FutureResume.com. ProPage sets job seekers apart from the crowds of other applicants in that the vast majority of candidates send out only a paper resume — and become one in a sea of thousands. With ProPage, seekers still provide the necessary resume, but add their unique video introductions and references plus the professional impression left by a personal portfolio URL incorporating a job seeker’s most important career information. They literally “leap off the page” as the hiring manager sees, hears and experiences the candidate as a real person, not just a list of past jobs. For employers, the ProPage is a shortcut to hiring the best people, allowing hiring managers to make better hiring decisions faster and less expensively. A sample ProPage can be viewed here: http://www.futureresume.com/employees/profile/elenasingletary.aspx. 2008-09-03
