How
are CareerFolios Different?
Flexibility—Buy
Only What You Need
You
can start small and build your CareerFolio™ as
you go, or create a full-scale custom-configured Web
resume or portfolio to meet your specific needs.
All
Inclusive Packages
Our packages include everything you need: design, set-up,
intuitive URL, and hosting.
Do-it-Yourself
Updating
With
Classic CareerFolios, you
can do your own updating –
as much as you want, whenever you
like, at
no charge.
Your
CareerFolio will have a Web address (URL) based on
your name:
www.careerfolio.com/yourname
This
feature makes it easy to market your CareerFolio –
i.e., the URL is intuitive enough to pass along during
conversation and short enough to list on your hard
copy resume and other personal marketing documents.

by Pat Kendall, NCRW,

and coauthor of eResumes, Everything You Need
to Know (McGraw-Hill). Pat has 25 years' experience
as a professional resume writer and co-developed the
original CareerFolios concept in 2000 with partners
Kevin Skarritt and Susan Britton Whitcomb.
