In the early 1980's, the office, then known as University Placement Services, implemented a system developed at Virginia Tech to support our On-Campus Interviewing program. Following the advent of personal computers and Local Area Networks, we developed software to facilitate student registration and data sheet referrals. Our Cooperative Education program, likewise, has relied on advanced database systems for many years. We saw the opportunity to provide more accessible services to our customers, improve the quality of the information available to them, and streamline our operations, using the well-proven products of BrassRing Campus. RE Web, with outstanding results.
Many students appreciate the structure and guidance offered by the built-in resume writer.
Others prefer the flexibility available when they prepare their resume using Microsoft Word. Our recruiting group is able to manage a much larger volume of recruiting activity without additional staff, and the CampusProfessional software does a great job of ensuring data entry accuracy. Employer use of the Web Resume Book has dramatically increased our students' exposure, with very little effort on our part. The scale of Virginia Tech's On-Campus Interviewing program has really put the CampusProfessional system through the paces. The system has performed very well, even under heavy loads.
