We’ve been busy analyzing how our customers use GigTide, collecting the feedback sent to us, and coming up with a whole list of things we feel will make GigTide more easier to use than ever. Check out some of GigTide’s new upgrades:
“Previous” and “Continue” Buttons Added
These buttons now allow GigTide users to walk through the application step-by-step. Even after reordering the tabs, you can easily step through the resume builder and ensure all the information you want to include has been added.
Dashboard Section User Interface Remodeled
GigTide’s dashboard has been completely remodeled to provide better navigation through its different sections, as well as providing a layout that is easier to use on screens using the 1024×768 resolution.
GigTide Community Released
For those of you that are looking for feedback, ideas, layouts, tips or anything else related to finding and securing your dream job, check out the newly released GigTide Community.
Resume Progress Sidebar Auto-Hides When Entering Dashboard
Now you can have extra space to manage your resumes, cover letters and contacts. The Resume Progress sidebar will automatically hide itself as soon as you enter the dashboard and reappear once you jump back into the resume builder section.
Resume Examples Created for Four Main Resume Styles
Use one of our resume examples to model yours after.
Create Cover Letters in GigTide and Export to a Word Doc
Once you create a cover letter in your account, you can easily view, save or print from Word. Just click on the “View as Word Doc” button located within the My Cover Letters list in your dashboard.
Cover Letter Editor Now Allows for Advanced Formatting
The GigTide cover letter editor now allows you to easily custom format your letter using the same editor capabilities included in each step of the resume builder tabs.
Preview Buttons from GigTide No Longer Increase Total Views
Now you can review your resume as many times as you like and your views will not increase your total views or add to any of the standard resume tracking numbers. This helps you get a more accurate picture of how many people are actually viewing your resume and where they are coming from.
Review Your Resume in Both PDF and Word Doc Formats from Within Dashboard
Now you can review both the PDF version and the Word Doc version of your saved resumes from within your dashboard. Simply click on the PDF and Word Doc buttons on the right side of your saved resume list
.
Log In by Entering Login Information and Pressing Enter
Now you don’t have to manually press the “login” button on the login screen. The application will now allow you to enter your information in and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
Major Template Smarts
The GigTide templates can now easily process bulleted lists when copying and pasting from Word, remove unneeded whitespace issues, only show the sections when there is actual content in them, and a whole slew of additional fixes that ensure your resume will look the way you want it to.
Writing Tips Given Bigger Section
You can now easily view the Writing Tips in it’s own tab within the resume builder.
