"Career Pathways" Improve Résumés For Student Job Seekers

Woodbridge, NJ, February 10, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Purzue, a privately-held Internet company focused on changing the way job-seekers and employers connect, today announced the release of its new “Career Pathways” feature that enhances the quality of the traditional résumé for students and early stage job seekers.

Search “career pathway” on the Internet and you’ll find that nearly every state outlines the academic preparation required for a fit in a particular industry.  However, this information rarely, if ever, is evident to employers on a traditional résumé.  This results in one of several problems: wasted time in the hiring process, or even worse, a hiring process that produces a poor fit of a candidate for a particular job.

Purzue addresses those concerns by enabling students to easily represent their industry knowledge on Purzue’s “Smart Résumé.” This provides prospective employers and recruiters greater insight into the potential fit of a student to an open position, avoiding the hiring pitfalls named above.

“Millenials now outnumber Baby Boomers, so it’s no mystery that a company’s next employee is likely to be from the Millenial generation,” said Evan Nisonson, Board Member. “We’re convinced that we need to provide a better way for these job seekers to represent who they are, and what they can offer to a prospective employer.  The ‘Career Pathways’ feature is just one such vital way we’re doing that.”

Already helping thousands of students and non-students alike match to jobs, Purzue, a free service, builds that bridge between early stage job seekers and employers.  Nisonson explains that being sensitive to the personality, needs, and expectations of this generation of job seeker helps guide product development. “’Career Paths,’ ‘Peer Review,’ ‘Verified Résumé’, and ‘Sharing Jobs’ of interest, are just a few features that resonate well with this generation of job seeker,” he said. “Every time one of our members uses our ‘Smart Résumé’ to get hired, our approach is validated and confirms why we should be the résumé of choice for Millenial job seekers.”
