It Works!

Posting your resume to a job that is... Believe it or not, recruiters still look at resumes from job-seekers that post on-line... job boards are NOT black holes!  I recently filled two jobs with folks that applied on-line, in response to an ad.  Great jobs too, not the entry level mass reply types of jobs...

Their resumes were great - short, sweet and to the point - and most importantly, they had the right experience.  I think it's a big misconception that resumes get lost in the void - recruiters do look at most resumes posted - they look for relevant experience (past jobs, industry, skills) - again, relevant experience.  Worst case scenario, if you do not have the right experience, we may keep your resume in our secret stash for a later date (you'd be amazed at how many people are genuinely shocked when I call them 6 months after they applied for a different job!)

In this world of on-line social networking, have people forgotten about the power of posting the resume?

Sometimes, I think so - but let me tell you plain and simple - post the resume - get back to basics - it works.
