The online system allows students who have earned certain achievements to build a profile and add badges to represent various activities and work experience. When completed, the profile is similar to a visual resume or LinkedIn page and can be used to promote students’ accomplishments throughout their time at the Institute.
The Institute issues notifications, which are essentially invites to readabout.me, when students earn Faculty Honors, make the Dean’s List, enroll as President’s Scholars or graduate. A brief, personalized news article accompanies each achievement on a student’s profile. This week, for the first time, Tech will issue a notice to all newly enrolled students, resulting in all freshmen having access to readabout.me.
Georgia Tech has long distributed announcements to hometown newspapers across the country, highlighting its students’ achievements using readMedia, the parent company of readabout.me. Now, students can capitalize on those announcements by claiming and completing their readabout.me profile when they earn an achievement from Georgia Tech. Part of readabout.me's goal is to help students enhance their online presence, letting recruiters and employers find positive, validated information — the "good stuff" — when students pursue a job hunt.
To claim your readabout.me profile:
Look out for an achievement notification this week, retrieve one from the past or see if you’re included in Georgia Tech’s list of student achievements.
