Are you posting your resume?

You might be familiar with Posting a Resume and if so, please forward this link to a friend who might not know about this technology. It's possible to be savvy in the area on-line employment and not know about Posting a Resume. This service is offered by most of the on-line employment services.

You can create a profile and upload your resume for employers to view publicly. It's possible to get responses immediately, but in general it takes a while before it starts to work. If multi-talented, you'd probably want to create different resumes based on your skills.

The other nice features is that you can hide your name, phone and email address. Employers will then send you an unspecified recipient email based on your profile. The only emails you want to avoid are the scams that post work from home, stuffing envelopes and other non-sense. Not all work from home jobs are scams though. Similar to other scam checks, just paste the name of the employer, the wording or email address in your search box and add the word "scam" and you can see if others have spotted this scam. What you don't want to avoid is your spam folder as many employer offers end up in there. So check the spam folder daily and delete the unwanted emails regularly. At the same time make sure that your email service doesn't automatically discard the spam folder as it could contain job offers.
