bulb’s Share Panel Gets a Refresh

As our users know, bulb strives to provide a simple, beautiful, and powerful platform. The ability to share what you make is at the core of how users showcase their work with bulb, which in turn drives our product innovations and evolution.

Thanks to great customer feedback, the bulb team has been able to improve our Share Panel, now making it clearer and easier to share pages and collections. The functionality of sharing to select audiences (through groups, private share links, the public, etc.) still remains the same.

As of now, all bulb users will see the following options reflected in the Share Panel in their bulb account:

  1. Just Me = a page/collection is private or an unpublished draft
  2. Custom = a page/collection is shared to an individual, group, or private share link
  3. Public = a page/collection is publicly shared with everyone

 

Additional Updates

On top of updates to the Share Panel, bulb has made a few more user-friendly changes to the way we do things.

  • Sharing entire Collections is now more straightforward thanks to the addition of a more visible blue button at the top of the collection.
  • Users no longer have to select Apply Share Settings, as the audience is automatically activated upon selection
  • The Template toggle has moved to the triple dot menu

bulb Digital Portfolios Launches Next-Generation Resume

 

bulb adds a powerful new resume feature that brings the best of their portfolio and the resume together into a single, powerful tool.

Lafayette, Colorado – (March 23, 2020) — Today bulb Digital Portfolios launched a new resume feature that allows users to integrate their portfolio of work experience, projects and passions directly into an online resume, showing clear proof of their capabilities and accomplishments. The feature enhances their best-in-class digital portfolio and is immediately available for all users.

“In the age of smartphones and the internet, the traditional resume has remained relatively unchanged for half a century,” said CEO Eric Goldreyer. “We believe it’s time the old-school one-page written resume got a makeover. We designed our resume to allow users to  show actual evidence of their strengths, achievements, and passions versus simply writing about them.”

bulb unlocks opportunities by giving users a straightforward platform for their skills, ideas & achievements to shine. The simple resume builder enables anyone to create and personalize their resume and portfolio without the need to code or host a website like with many online portfolios.

With only 2% of applicants making it past the first round of the job application process, job seekers need new ways to stand out. bulb enables each user to show – versus tell – their unique story by embedding proof of their work right alongside their experience on a resume, which helps differentiate from the traditional PDF or Word Doc resume.

Companies also need better tools to differentiate between whether potential employees are simply “qualified” versus an actual fit within an organization. bulb gives companies the ability to get a more complete picture of potential and existing employees by allowing them to see documented evidence of one’s skills, achievements, and competencies.

bulb’s flagship portfolio product integrates with over 1,000 different applications, including Google Drive, Microsoft, social media platforms, and more. By integrating directly with the portfolio, bulb’s resume feature also enables users to embed their work from those applications. bulb’s simple page editor and embedding tools make it easier than ever  to build out a portfolio of a user’s best work.

“With the events of the past year, the global job market is as competitive as it’s ever been, said Goldreyer. “Whether you’re applying for a job, an internship, or college, everyone is looking for a way to stand out.”

“We believe that bulb resumes will help anyone, no matter what they do, to get a leg up. Our integrated resume & portfolio make it easier than ever before to put your best foot forward in your education, your career, and your life – whether it’s to get the grade, the job, the promotion, or the raise.”

With most of workers’ and student’s work being digital, much of it is left behind when they move onto the next phase of life. With bulb’s living resume, all users get to keep their portfolio and resume for life and take their work with them to their next endeavor.

The partnership will provide a digital means for Career and Technical Education students to display their knowledge and skills.


LUBBOCK, TX and LAFAYETTE, CO (December 1, 2020)
 — bulb is honored to partner with iCEV to provide Career and Technical Education students with a digital means to showcase their skillset and work. This spring, iCEV users will have access to bulb Digital Portfolios and pre-made project templates.

bulb is an easy-to-use tool empowering teachers to engage and assess students in-person and remotely. Students can take notes, complete assignments, and demonstrate their academic growth on bulb’s digital platform. The partnership will include iCEV providing all users access to bulb Digital Portfolios and our new iCEV project templates for the spring of 2021. Choosing from more than 50 pre-built templates, teachers can assign more interactive and creative projects within bulb >for iCEV’s most popular courses.

“At bulb, we choose to partner with organizations that align with our mission of providing a creative platform that helps students shine in school, on the job, and wherever their passions lead them, said Scott Willingham, Chief Revenue Officer at bulb. “iCEV has a long history of providing students with the preparation they need to successfully transition from K-12 to post-secondary studies and future career success. We are thrilled to be able to support this effort through the use of our digital portfolios.

The concepts learned in Career and Technical Education courses are often challenging to highlight on paper. Using bulb, students can demonstrate their knowledge and skills through hands-on examples. Additionally, students can display their written work while exhibiting their industry certifications and credentials.

With bulb, students can now showcase their best iCEV work anytime, anywhere, regardless if they’re in class or remote. Their accomplishments are now a visible representation that will allow them to stand out among their peers.

“We are excited to offer our users bulb,” said Megan O’Quinn, iCEV’s Vice President of Brand Management. “We believe this partnership will help students creatively express their abilities while allowing employers to identify well-trained applicants.”

bulb accounts will go with students throughout their future endeavors. Once students have built their digital portfolios, they can utilize the online platform to display their work when applying for internships, colleges, and jobs. Students can demonstrate the technical knowledge and skills learned within their courses utilizing documents, videos, audio, and other digital means. As students obtain more examples of their work, they can update their portfolios.

The partnership between iCEV and bulb Digital Portfolios promotes project-based learning, collaboration, and student creativity.To learn more about the bulb and iCEV partnership, visit this page.
