UVU Career Fair
5:16 pm | Uncategorized, Utah Valley University | No comment
Wow! What a fun day we had at UVU today. We had quite the successful launch in the UVU career fair. Brandon and Rachel helped students create profiles right at the fair and explained Student Genius to many students. Everyone we talked to was really excited for a product that helps them find employment as opposed to filling out countless applications with the same information over and over and handing out pointless resumes and getting overlooked.
We were even approached by Weber State career services. They would like us to come present Student Genius to them and help us promote on their campus as well as possibly using us on their career site. We look forward to working with UVU in the future and helping their students get found. Great day team!

Student gets hired because of her Student Genius Visual Resume
10:44 am | Uncategorized | No comment
Haley Christensen received 4 job offers after graduation, a rarity in this economy, and finally landed her social media internship for Mercury Public Affairs thanks to Student Genius. Winter semester Haley was finishing up her classes at Brigham Young University, when she heard about Student Genius from a friend. She jumped in with both feet and created a beautiful canvas:
She entered our iPad giveaway contest in March, and won an iPad:
Haley told us her story recently:
“I’m working in social media and digital communications. I felt like it was important to have a strong online presence through portfolios, blogs, LinkedIn, and such. Student Genius was an awesome way to showcase all of that, and it was something I could include on all those other sites, too. I actually have a QR code on the top right corner of my resume that links to my Student Genius canvas, and that got sent to every potential employer I was in contact with. The link to my canvas is on my LinkedIn page, my website, my Twitter account, my About.Me page and my online portfolio.
I had several interviewers . . . compliment the cleanness of the Student Genius canvas I’d created. They’d never seen anything like it and, as an applicant hoping for a position in digital media, it was really cool to have an edge on them. It was also kind of fun to tell a few of them that I’d won an iPad through my use of social media sharing.
Because of the skills I used in creating my Student Genius canvas (and through sharing it with my friends during the iPad contest), I have been better prepared to showcase the work of our clients through their social media outlets.”

New Winner of the TerryTop iPad 3 Contest
8:33 am | Palo Alto University, Student Genius | No comment
Please join me in congratulating Antonia Jose-Davis, the winner of the Student Genius Terry Top iPad 3 Contest.
Antonia is a full time student at Palo Alto University focusing in Business Psychology. She is currently working as a professional hairstylist at Supercuts.
Here is how she describes herself in her Student Genius Profile: “Supporting others is what I do best. Sharing my knowledge and experiences so others can be as successful if not even more so. There is nothing that I cannot accomplish. Always open to learning and gaining more experience. There is never such a thing as knowing too much.”
Terry Top was very excited about her business ideas and looks forward to implement them soon.
Antonia joins the five other students who have won our previous contests.
Also, stay tuned to our Facebook page where we are about to launch a new version of our Contests. We are very excited about this one.
