CareerFolio: “Teal”

The
CareerFolio can be used as a short-term job search tool
(as an adjunct to traditional and electronic resumes),
but for many, the CareerFolio
provides maximum benefit when used as "long term"
marketing tool.

CareerFolios'
Design Philosophy
CareerFolios'
design philosophy is simple:
CareerFolios
are designed for maximum "human"
usability on the Web:
- 24/7
Searchable Content: CareerFolios
pages are searchable and indexable
by resume spiders and sites such
as Google.
- Appropriate
Design Graphics: CareerFolios'
designs complement (rather than
overwhelm) the resume. In addition,
CareerFolios do not rely on photographs
- which are not always appropriate
on resumes - as the primary design
element.
- Eye
Appealing Styles: CareerFolios'
eye-catching styles are designed
for optimum "human" readability.
CareerFolios'
high-contrast pages and use of type
reflect best practices in web readability.
In addition, set-width pages ensure
that all resume text is readable
when printed.
- Optimum
Readability:
- Database
Ready Text Download:
- Intuitive
URL:
- Browser
Tested: CareerFolios styles
are designed to look good on various
types of browsers and computer screens.
Type:
According to XXXXX sans serif
type is the most readable type for
body text on the Web. Most CareerFolios
use sans serif type.
