GigTide – Impressive On-line Resumes
The best time to look for a job is while you are still employed Just ask anyone that has been unemployed for awhile.
To that end its always good to keep your resume up to date and this new service offers a great way to do that. You get a choice of resume designs, created by a top-notch designer as well as tools that allow you to track who is looking at your resume.
The interface is excellent. The site takes you through a step-by-step process in filling out your resume and offers excellent advice and tips include positive action words and spell checking. (How many great applicants have I ignored because of the typos on their resume? Far too many!)
Currently there is a 7-day free trial period and then a subscription fee but this business model may be changing with a multiple-tiered service. Hopefully a basic resume and one design will be free with the multiple resumes, cover letters, and tracking tools being available for a small subscription.
