This feature is the critical interface for the user in organizing their job search efforts and provides a launching point for multiple access to contacts and details quickly. It is highly compatible with Microsoft Outlook (note: Microsoft and Outlook are trademarks of the Microsoft Corporation).

Documents are an important part of the
marketing process when searching for a job. Your resume and cover
letters are the primary tool that employers and hiring managers will
use to evaluate your skill sets. The more effective you become at
customizing your resume to meet the demands and needs of the position
offered or the individuals involved in providing job opportunities, the
more valuable your results will be in using the job search. The
document control system manages who you sent what documents. It
keeps track of the documents available (sent) and allows fast review
and changes provided you have the appropriate interfaces.
CVTrackerTM can open specific documents with a click and
provide you
with a powerful interface that keeps track of your search efforts. |

In addition to standard review of your efforts, CVTrackerTM automatically updates your pipeline for you as you go through the steps in acquiring a job interview. This includes informational contacts, informational interviewing, preparing your resume and cover letter, sending your resume/cover letter out and even setting up an interview and interview event. By integrating your job search with the tool, you will be able to more efficiently keep track of what goes on in the search. The pipeline provides a holistic view of all the opportunities you are currently pursuing that are recorded in your database. | |

Goals and measurement are a critical aspect of your job hunt. By using these, you will be able to track how often you meet your goals, to ramp up and ramp down your predicted goals over time, and to see if you really are going out and searching hard enough for your job. CVTrackerTM provides you with an excellent way to enter, review, and quickly come up-to-date on your progress along several different axes for your job search. | |

The search mechanism provides a fast, effective download of information into an easy to use screen. The mechanism not only searches for stuff you need, but shows you exactly under what categories it searched and what fields hold the information you seek. By letting you choose where you think you had your data, it will help you find it much faster than if searching every piece of a database. | |

You remember that last job you had, how you worked so hard on a particular project, gave the company over $2M in new revenues. They still decided that you couldn't stay - even though they were going out of business anyway. Did you describe that project clearly in your resume, did you quantify it, make it a truly impressive part of your user profile - your portfolio of achievements? When you get a call from the next employer, make sure you can quickly relate the details, the times, the dates and the end results using the PAR algorithm which helps evaluate your skills and experiences. The user profile gives to you a fast summarization in concrete terms of exactly what you've done - including the Problem-Action-Results that you were able to achieve. Compare these activities to your database positions, then apply the appropriate ones to the resume you plan to send in. | |
