As to the question of "official backing" from FIRST, I'm not sure how to answer that. I do know that other team-based sites/initiatives (and multiple team efforts too) such as BuzzU, RCU, OCCRA, Indiana FIRST, ChiefDelphi, FSN, and FIRST College Connect (just to name a few) have all provided needed services to many in the FIRST community and FIRST has certainly encouraged those efforts in a multitude of ways. We have received similar encouragement about beyondFIRST and hope as many students and sponsors take advantage of the service as possible.

Please encourage your students, teammates, and anyone with FIRST experience pursuing a career or job change to enter resume information on our secure server. Employers/sponsors are showing interest as well and will continue to do so as the field of applicants becomes larger. We look forward to serving the needs of as many as possible in the coming days, weeks, and years.

Please let us know how beyondFIRST is working for you and your team and how we can better serve you in the future!

We will work on the companies here in GA to add to your efforts.

Question: Are you adding a feature to allow for resume's to be uploaded as opposed to entering all the information in a form? I think this would encourage more people to use this. Entering all that information is very tedious when most people already have resumes in Word or PDF format.
