VitaeWho™ Aims To Help Job Seekers Keep Track Of Their Cover Letters And Resumes.

Online, September 17, 2010 (Newswire.com) - On average, it takes seven months to find a job in the current economic climate. In that time most applicants have long forgotten what version of the resume was sent to each prospect. When the spreadsheet keeping track of potential job leads becomes unmanageable, it is time for a different approach.

VitaeWho (http://www.engenious.net/VitaeWho) is a free web application that tracks each job lead along with an individualized cover letter and resume. The application supports a contact list with each job posting, to keep names and information associated with the position.

Users of VitaeWho can record the job posting URL, when it appeared, and when it closed, the response date, and of course, a copy of the cover letter and resume. Leads are assigned a status, such as: Submitted, Under Consideration, Not Selected, Not Submitted or Backlog.

Job searchers typically peruse multiple employment sites looking for leads that are of interest. The "Backlog" status enables the user to save leads deserving further consideration without the requirement of responding immediately. The postings that were assigned to "Backlog" status are prioritized by closing date and can then be re-assessed to identify the job openings that deserve immediate attention. Job leads that no longer show promise are either deleted or reassigned to the "Not Submitted" status, preserving the possibility of another re-assessment in the future. Therefore, potential positions of interest are not lost.

VitaeWho is free and will run on any internet web browser that supports Silverlight 4, from Microsoft Corporation. It is localized for English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Russian.
