San Diego, CA — January 8, 2008 — GigTide’s new online community (www.gigtide.com/community) and resume builder enhancements have supported initial success, resulting in over 32,000 visitors, over 400 new users and over 500 resumes created in multiple languages, within the first two weeks. GigTide.com and its online resume builder is quickly gaining web presence with over 10,000 results in Google and blog mentions throughout the world from the US to India, Italy, China, Spain and the UK.

The new online community gives job-seekers, employers, head-hunters, resume writers and anyone else in the job-search industry, a place to connect, share information, ideas, knowledge and feedback. Community feedback has also prompted GigTide’s resume builder updates to enhance the user interface, formatting, text editing and to support multi-lingual characters.

“We have received incredibly valuable feedback from our users. We are committed to listening to our customers and continuing to improve GigTide to support the success of job-seekers all over the world,” said Micah Johnson, Founder and CEO of Chief Ingredient, LLC which is responsible for the development of GigTide.com. “Based on suggestions from the GigTide community, we have implemented several enhancements such as simplifying the workflow and visual elements and enhancing the layout for screen resolutions 1024 x 768 and higher.”

The new GigTide Community has been developed to help job-seekers connect to other job-seekers and potential employers for peer reviews, feedback, idea generation, and simply to stay connected to the best ways to get noticed and land that dream career. Information such as interview tips and secrets to resume writing can be found in the GigTide Community. Peer support and job-searching advice and feedback helps job-seekers create resumes that demand results and succeed through group knowledge and communication.
