We at the Caltech Career Development Center have been investigating better ways to manage your letters of recommendation. After careful consideration, we have decided to partner with Interfolio, the premier web-based credential file management service. We have concluded
that on-line access to an electronically stored credentials will provide the greatest convenience and accessibility for you. Accordingly, we have decided that as of July 1, 2004 we will offer our letters of recommendation service through Interfolio, Inc.
Interfolio is an online credentials management service that is available
to California Institute of Technology students and alumni. Interfolio is the cheapest and easiest way for a PhD to send academic credentials
to a search committee, an undergraduate to send application materials to graduate and professional schools, or a teacher to apply for a teaching position.
Interfolio's Internet service allows you to build an internet portfolio -
a complete file of all your credentials - where you can store any of your life's work:
| • |
Confidential letters of recommendation |
| • |
Curriculum Vitae |
| • |
Writing samples |
| • |
How do I get started? |
| • |
Dissertation abstract |
| • |
Supervising teacher evaluation |
| • |
Student & peer evaluations |
| • |
Transcripts - from all of your degrees |
| • |
Anything else that you need to complete your search. |
You have 24/7 access to your portfolio, from anywhere in the world. Completing your applications will take minutes instead of days and cost less than a trip to a copy store and post office.
What you get
| • |
24 hour access
Our system is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from anywhere in the world so you can manage your job search when and where you want.
* Single package delivery
Interfolio allows you to put all the documents you need to apply for a position in one package. |
| • |
Targeted, customized deliveries
You can specify a unique set of documents for each delivery. And you can specify the order in which your materials are packaged so your presentation is powerful and persuasive. |
| • |
Low Cost
Since you need only send one delivery to each position, you save money and headaches; it's cheaper to send a 30 page delivery through Interfolio than to go to Kinko's and the US Post Office. |
| • |
Self managed files
With Interfolio you have control of your portfolio. You don't have to rely on others to make intelligent decisions about what documents are delivered on your behalf. |
| • |
Lightning-Fast Delivery
We send every delivery within one business day of your request. If you need to meet a deadline, we can send express deliveries the same day (as long as you make the request by 2 PM EST). |
