Job search and resume
banks
No job search is complete today without the World Wide Web.
Among the numerous web sites dealing with employment, you
can find job-search sites through which you can post your
resume, attend an online career fair, search for jobs by key
word, location, industry, company, and connect to college
and universities home pages.
In addition to these Internet resources, you can find more
career resources through professional associations’
sites and online career magazines.
Electronic resumes and resume scanning
A growing number of companies use computers to sort the
hundreds of resumes they receive.
These companies scan paper resumes into
electronic resumes. When hiring managers need to fill
a position, they search their electronic resumes for keywords,
in the same way you search the web using a search engine (such
as Google).
With this new technology, a scannable/keyword
resume has become an essential job hunting tool. EasyJob
helps you by providing several scanner-friendly resume templates.
Responding to want ads
The fastest way to respond to Internet job listings is to
e-mail your cover letter
and resume to the person or organization indicated.
However, there are some rules for you to follow:
- First of all, do not email your resume unless specifically
requested to.
- E-mail is not an exact science. Sometimes the document
is not received or arrives corrupted and illegible.
- Many people are cautious of opening attached files from
unknown sources making possible for a resume that has been
attached to be neglected or deleted.
- You have 15 or 20 seconds to get someone's attention
using email. In that time, you must convince the recipient
to
a) open your email,
b) read your message, and
c) not delete your email.
When you use EasyJob Resume Builder,
the well-written, “skill- oriented” format that
you can select from the application, will contain all of the
necessary keywords to attract attention whether you post,
copy , fax, email or
scan it into a resume system.
