How are CareerFolios different?

Visual Appeal: Focus

CareerFolios' page designs are eye-appealing and appropriate for most job seekers. They do not rely on candidate photographs or Flash technology to provide design focus.

Flexibility—Buy Only What You Need

You can start small and build your CareerFolio™ as you go – or create a full-scale customized web portfolio to meet your specific needs.

All Inclusive Packages

CareerFolios packages include everything you need: multiple design options, set up from text file, intuitive URL, and hosting.

Do-it-Yourself Updating

You can use CareerFolios' online system to do your own resume updating – as much as you want, whenever you like, at no charge. No technical skills required!

Intuitive URL

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.

Resume Design "Know How"

CareerFolios templates and custom designs were developed by Pat Kendall, NCRW, author of Jumpstart Your Online Job Search 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.

Developed by Nationally Published Resume Designer

Pat Kendall's custom web resumes have been featured in nationally published books such as Gallery of Best Resumes (JIST), eResumes: Everything You Need to Know (McGraw-Hill), The Complete Job Search Guide for Latinos (Barrons), and Jumpstart Your Online Job Search (Prima Publishing). Pat is available to discuss your specific needs and advise you on the content and structure of your CareerFolio.
