Conventional Resumes And First Interviews Soon To Be Extinct

Oct. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- Hailed as  "the next generation of job searching and recruiting," the Connect a Job website (http://www.connectajob.com) debuted with its multidimensional model that's rendering conventional resumes and first interviews virtually obsolete.  As the first provider of its kind to offer video profiles, the site features a long list of other never-before-seen tools like online work samples, skill highlights, qualifications and much more.  Dubbed "more empowered employment," Connect a Job is the only provider that lets seekers promote their total package and gives employers the complete picture of a candidate in just minutes, right at their computer screen.

"For too long, job seekers and employers have suffered with the frustrations and limitations of traditional job search and recruiting websites," explained Shai Chason, Co-Founder of Connect a Job.   "Connect a Job not only fills this fundamental need in the marketplace but also makes the process infinitely smarter, faster and easier."  

For job seekers, Connect a Job (http://connectajob.com) shatters the impersonal, constrained resume format of the past, empowering them to dynamically stand out from the crowd.  Through video resumes they make in the comfort of their own home, resumes come alive and speak directly to employers.  Instead of fighting the inevitable first-interview nerves, job seekers get the opportunity to present their best selves first and highlight what makes them unique.  Connect a Job offers seekers a multitude of other exclusive features, like easily uploaded work samples for an instant online portfolio and quick-add technology that builds a professional profile in minutes.  Seekers also receive their own private link to send to outside employers or websites.

"Modernizing the traditional resume format was long overdue, but we take it to the next level" said Tal Winner, the site's other Co-Founder.  "A Connect a Job profile is like a resume, portfolio and first interview all in one."

Connect a Job equally benefits employers, drastically reducing the time, cost and aggravation of searching for great talent.  In fact, Connect a Job virtually eliminates the first-interview process altogether!  Now, in under three minutes, employers get the complete picture of a candidate.  They can instantly view video resumes, assess actual work products, directly contact references and much more.  Connect a Job's cutting-edge technologies also afford employers the most specific search parameters in existence, so they can quickly and easily find exactly what they're looking for.

The site is completely free for job seekers, while employers select from reasonably-priced, duration-based memberships that afford unlimited searches, profile views and candidate contacts.  In its first year, Connect a Job is extending sizeable discounts to employers.
