Professionals and Companies
INDIANAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
CareerScribe, LLC, the first Web site to offer job-seekers a single platform for
career management, today announces the launch of its Beta version that has been
redesigned around the idea of sharing. Users can now share their professional
profile with anyone, providing a more socially networked user experience.

By simply clicking on `Share`, professionals can directly email a protected link
of theirCareerScribeprofiles to any prospective company or contact regardless of
whetherthe recipient is a member of the CareerScribenetwork, making CareerScribe
truly the resume of the 21st century.

"We are excited to provide users with a powerful means of sharing their career
story with professionals who are important to their advancement," said Jeff
Bockelman, founder and president of CareerScribe. "With unemployment at 8.1%,
many job-seekers are asking, `How do I stand apart from the stack of traditional
paper resumes?` The answer is simple. Be proactive by giving prospective
employers a comprehensive professional profile before it is requested. By using
CareerScribe, job-seekers are demonstrating initiative, creativity,
progressiveness, thoroughness, organization and most of all credibility. It goes
far beyond the resume."

In addition to what`s new, the Beta version sports an interactive Dashboard page
including news from CareerScribe, best practices, video tips, a question and
answer center and potential job opportunities.

CareerScribe is a unique career management platform that allows candidates to
scrapbook their careers with its exclusive CareerTracker feature, upload
self-introduction videos and store any supporting documentation (including, of
course, a resume).

Professionals use the CareerTracker to showcase accomplishments by uploading
supporting documents highlighting promotions, awards and other successes. Also,
professionals may take advantage of self-introduction videos, which make the
perfect first impression every time. By presenting key accomplishments in this
virtual portfolio, professionals are supplying potential employers with desired
information that simply cannot be shared in the traditional paper resume.

CareerScribe is free for professionals. Companies pay an annual subscription
fee.
