uBoast Job Networking Site a Huge Success
October 21, 2008, Washington, DC- uBoast.com announces that its free professional networking service is rapidly gaining members since it launched last month. The uBoast site already has 20,000 users who have recorded over a thousand video resumes. The company also has partnerships with nearly 30 universities.
This professional version of Facebook allows job applicants and employers to gain deep insights about each other through dynamic profile pages and enhances communication through online chat, messaging and real-time video interviewing.
According to uBoast CEO, Shy Pahlevani, “uBoast’s mission is to enable job candidates to stand-out from the crowd and gain greater opportunities to achieve the career of their dreams. What we offer is especially valuable in today’s tough job market.”
A video resume created by uBoast allows a candidate to show off their mannerisms, energy, confidence, professionalism and communication skills. Employers also benefit from uBoast’s services as they are able to establish a more complete impression of the applicant. The candidate’s personal page includes their video resume, traditional resume, interview Q&A, endorsements, references, Google links and portfolio documents all on one screen.
uBoast.com’s unique service also includes virtual resume hosting, professional networking, a job board with listings throughout the US, recruiting tools to aide in candidate/employer matches and enhanced video resume services.
The site is rapidly gaining users as it offers a modern, updated version of the resume to both job seekers and employers. “I require all new candidates applying for design positions in our company to now apply with a virtual resume on uBoast. This allows me to see a snapshot of all their work on one uniform platform," said Collin O’Brien, founder of Clockwork Clothing.
Recent graduate Henna Sodano said that uBoast helped her land a dream job right out of college. "By creating a video of myself I was able to show the PR firm I was applying to my communication abilities, which ultimately gave the edge in getting the job."
