Secrets To Successfully Marketing Your Resume Online by CountrysBestResumes

Pretty much every company will request that you fill out an online application or submit your resume via email. The way we searched for jobs in the 1990's is no longer the protocol. According to Tawana Wood, Chief Resume Writer and Owner of CountrysBestResumes.com, a leading resume writing company, gone are the days when we used newspapers as our primary source for job leads. Technology has made it easier to view job leads from all over the country with just a click of a mouse. However, responding to job leads on the Internet can be tricky. Ms. Wood shares the following tips for helping job seekers successfully market their resumes online.

Tip 1. Your chances of securing an invitation for an interview are dramatically increased when you are among the first to respond. Note the date the job was posted on an Internet site.

Tip 2. Try to use manageable and profession/industry specific websites, go to the job search tab for Internet job sites by industry. Limit the number of websites you use to apply for jobs. General purpose and popular websites tend to generate a greater amount of traffic that often means more competition and more work for the employer.

Recruiting executives look to professional organizations as resources. Join professional organizations and sign up for their job listings.

Tip 3. Use appropriate e-mail addresses and check your email account daily. Avoid using email addresses with numbers and multiple random letters such as Y2653nnko@ emailaddress . com

Tip 4. Sign up with professional publication websites. Many employers often place ads through their sites or have direct links to their career pages.

Tip 5. Keep a log of where and when you send out your job response emails. The easiest way to do this is by creating a new folder in your email manager and storing all of your sent emails under your new job folder.
