Making Your Resume Work FOR You
Back To Articles Index
You're looking for a better job, right? You're working your tail off, doing research, conducting online searches, visiting company sites, knocking on doors and calling friends. Hopefully your resume is working as hard as you are. If not, here are four new ways to make sure your resume puts in a full day's work.
Be a Traffic Stopper!
Some years back when the economy was in a slump, jobs were pretty hard to find, and the Internet was still young, an Atlanta sales professional took a novel approach to getting the word out that he was looking. He shelled out $10,000, rented a billboard visible from I-285, the main connector that encircles the home of the Braves, and advertised his qualifications to all who drove by. Basically, he "posted" a gigantic, brief, bullet-point resume in a high traffic area where potential employers might see it.
If it sounds crazy, consider this: if you're not posting your resume on CareerBuilder, you might as well start shopping for billboard space because nothing else is more effective. When you POST your resume here, it's like buying billboard space along a highway traveled exclusively by top employers. In fact, your resume is a mouse-click away from THOUSANDS of top employers. And BEST of all, basic posting is always FREE of charge! Click here to POST your resume.
