Why?

Filed in: Business, Features, Hints & Tips, Support — la 3:02 pm

Its been an nteresting period for us at W+B and CeeVee.

We sent out our first batch of beta invites on Wednesday at 11:20am. Within the first 24hours we saw an uptake of 84% in terms of user registrations. But let us not get into talking about numbers, as its still very early stages for us here.

Instead, let me talk about how we got here.

When searching for potential colleagues using ejobs and bestjobs we were increasingly upset with how unprofessional candidates resumes really were. 

Then it hit us. What about a professional CV/Resume for the rest of us. What about a simple tool where people can compose their CV and share with others. Simple, clean, professional and free to use. 

As it stands today CeeVee allows you to accomplish something others have failed to do. Create a professional resume online, which you can share with others. Simple.

But, this is not where we rest our case. More and more features and services are planned for the future.

    “When searching for potential colleagues using ejobs and bestjobs we were increasingly upset with how unprofessional candidates resumes really were.”

    This is because ejobs/bestjobs don’t have the tools and their functionalities don’t permit the users to have professional resumes or is because people don’t know how to promote themselves?

    All the best with this initiative!

    Silvius, a little bit of both :)
    With a better tool in hand and some guidance most candidates will find it easier to compose a better resume. That’s what we’ve set about to do here at CeeVee!
    Thanks! Dan

    şi de ce vorbim în engleză despre site-uri româneşti? :)

    @picsel Exista si varianta ceeveed.com, dar tot nu se justifica :)

    @picsel / @silvius

    Guys, you are right, it is not justifiable.

    As one of the creators of CeeVee, I find it easier to express myself in English. It might not be the ‘right’ way but it certainly is the better way to get the messages across to our users about what’s going on here at Ceevee.

    CeeVee has been launched in Romania first. But we have to keep in mind our future growth, markets and our audiences and thus, constantly, take into consideration the language barriers we reach.
