A - If you are looking for a dump and run site where you simply upload your Resume & forget about it and hope for the best BeFound is not for you.
If you are serious about finding a job and are willing to devote a bit of time to creating and maintaining a professional on-line profile – BeFound.com.au is the place for you!
There are a few of reasons why we do not allow job seekers to simply upload a Word or PDF Resume…..
Having to interact and create a BeFound profile shows prospective employers that you have given the process some thought and pout some effort into actually creating a BeFound profile. The importance of this to prospective employers cannot be underestimated. The employers who use BeFound are looking for quality employees not just a Resume database for a mailing list.
Asking job seekers to complete a standard BeFound profile means that we can control your privacy. The software withholds certain information about you and your current employer to make sure that your personal information and your integrity is maintained. Allowing job seekers to upload Resumes in various layouts and file formats would make it impossible for us to protect your personal and contact information. Controlling the input fields also means that we are able to control which fields are ‘searchable’ and which are not – helping employers to find relevant profiles quickly and easily.
The BeFound Resume builder is designed in a ‘best practice’ format which is easy to read and understand. This means that prospective employers can quickly identify relevant profiles and do not have to spend too much time and effort sorting through (sometimes) irrelevant information which sometimes appears on a Resume.
Ultimately, you should be able to ditch all the other version of your Resume altogether and simply use your BeFound profile as your only Resume.
- Update it.
- Maintain it.
- Change it as you change jobs and as you move through your career.
- Your BeFound profile should grow with you.
