FAQ
Rule #1: Who controls your data? You do.
1. What is AuthorizedCV?
It is your own place for the electronic artifacts and accomplishments generated throughout your professional life that in turn allow you to continue your lifelong profession and continuing education.
2. Why is this so important?
Professionals from physicians and nurses to plumbers and heating/air conditioning technicians cannot work without their professional papers. As a professional, you’ve worked hard for your education and accomplishments. No one can take them away from you. And you need to put them to work for you as well.
To reach your potential.
3. Who founded AuthorizedCV and why?
Family Physician and NASA Flight Surgeon, Dr. Joe Schmid, got tired of maintaining his own credentials in a myriad of places and repeatedly sending the same information at different times to different clinics or locations in which he works. Joe saw professionals having to allow others to control their data (and thereby control them!)
Joe works worldwide with physicians, surgeons, nurses, medics, researchers, computer scientists, pilots, engineers, plumbers, heating and air conditioning technicians, musicians, graphic artists , professors, teachers and most importantly, students. Joe decided to do his part to put the power back into the hands of the professionals themselves.
4. Who owns the data?
You. Period.
5. Who decides with whom to share the data, if ever?
You. Period.
6. Do we share your data with headhunters, advertisers, LinkedIn, etc?
No. But if you would like to take your data and skills to market, we actually can make it easier for you. See Rule # 1 above.
