I bet you readers must be wondering what is this 'Prevview' all about right?

Before that, think about the following
Why don't the future employers call me up? I have the interest!
I have the characteristics for that job too!!
[This happens to me too!!]


Have you ever wondered how the whole job search goes?
Its simple
Written Resumes -> Interview -> Job that you wanted!

BUT!!!!
Sometimes, actions speak louder than words! What we write on the resume may not be what our future employers are searching for at the first sight. And we need to show people that we are up to the challenge to take up on the job that we want!

Here is where Prevview comes in handy!!!




Prevview is a video resume, in which you use an interactive manner to break the barrier between you and your future employer!

Here's a simple rundown of Prevview itself!
Key Features of Prevview.com
1) Dedicated Profile Page - Just like Facebook and it's Free!

Imagine having a jobseeker profile where you can express your true self professionally and effectively. Your outstanding soft skills and vibrant personalities will no longer have to be dormant within a piece of paper. Prevview enables you to give a voice and personality to your paper resumes, through cutting edge video streaming technology. You no longer need to attach various documents to your potential employer. Speak to them directly through your visumes and let them know why you should be hired. Back your visumés up with downloadable important and relevant documents such as cover letter, resume, portfolio, and reference letters.

2) Two-Pronged Approach to Job Search

A) Search for Jobs with our comprehensive search function and apply immediately. Because our Employers are provided with unlimited job postings, jobseekers can rest assure that they will get the most updated job vacancies in town. B) Be headhunted by registered Employers - All employers are provided with the Search capability where they can search for and request to interview candidates.

3) In-Depth Information about Employers

We all know the importance of research before going for an interview. We also know how important it is to understand a job scope before applying for a job - no one wants to come off as unsure or be taken by surprise during an interview.

To enable jobseekers to be as well prepared as possible, Prevview has created dedicated profile pages for employers as well! Everything you need from the HR Video, to Written Profiles and comprehensively described Job Postings to Getting Hired Tips and Q&A can be found under one roof, the Employer Profile Page.

4) Visume Guide

With our tech world ablaze with fancy gadgets, Prevview assures all jobseekers that making a visumé takes only 5 simple steps. Prevview.com is well furbished with a comprehensive video guide as well as Visume tips and articles to help you along the way.

5) Privacy Settings
All profiles are viewable only by registered Employers. What's more, our technology ensures that Employers will not be able to save your video on their computers.

You have the option of keeping your profile entirely private [employers cannot search for you, but you can browse through employer profiles and still apply for jobs!].

The "Block" feature lets you insert keywords that will block views from everyone associated with them. For e.g. Prevview is your employer and you do not wish for them to see that you have a profile on the portal. Simply enter "Prevview" as a keyword and any Employer associated with Prevview will not be able to view your profile!

Resumes – that will show and tell us why you would make a great employee.

professional, do it your way and boldly express your best self.

43 participants from Category A and Category B who have received the highest
People's Choice scores will receive $10,000 worth of attractive prizes. Seven out of
