UNC Chapel Hill Career Services Partners with OptimalResume.com, Inc. to Develop State of the Art Resume-Builder Software for Students

OptimalResume.com, Inc. program developed for colleges and universities offers students free resume services while creating an income stream for the school by marketing affinity services to alumni.

(PRWEB) March 28, 2005 -- When Marcia Harris, Director of Career Services at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, received a call from Mark McNasby, Vice President of OptimalResume.com and UNC-Chapel Hill graduate, the timing was perfect. Marcia Harris had been looking for ways to help her students create higher-quality resumes and to free up her some of her counselors for other important tasks. OptimalResume.com had been seeking a niche to focus its innovative resume-builder software, which helps users create top-notch resumes from scratch and offers the advantage of creating an interactive resume website that facilitates online job searches.

Now, after months of collaborative development, UNC-Chapel Hill students can use the OptimalResume Builder to create and manage their resumes for free. In addition to creating a standard Microsoft Word ® document, the software creates links in three different formats:

Flash format - http://unc.confidentialresume.com/kellymorgan

Word® compatible format - http://unc.confidentialresume.com/kellymorgan.rtf

HTML format - http://unc.confidentialresume.com/kellymorgan.html

Not only are students able to build strong resumes in a short amount of time with the OptimalResume Builder, but also they can package them and disseminate them as needed," Mrs. Harris said. This software is a real advance for us and demonstrates our continuing commitment to improving the services we offer our students. A student can now have their resume link on a business card rather than having to send a hard copy or email an attachment."

For online job searches, using links has many advantages, and the student can activate or deactivate their resumes once they find a job. In addition, the Flash version of the resume can include a university-specific identification or logo. Once students become alumni, they can continue to use the resume builder for a nominal fee and update their resume as their career progresses.

Todd Lempicke, President of OptimalResume.com, Inc. said, We have structured this program so that we can very easily add new institutions interested in offering the OptimalResume Builder to their students. We custom fit the product for each institution to reflect its academic focus and programs. Our goal is to provide students with the tools that will enable them to get out there and be successful in the job market."
