Resume Marketing Services

After your resume is written, resume marketing services (also called resume distribution services) can help you get it out to potential employers. It is said that the best job doesn't necessary go to the best candidate, it goes to the most prepared candidate, and you need to be in the right place at the right time. Thanks to the internet, now you can find a job opening almost as soon as it is announced on internet. Sending your resume to the recruiters and employers is also just a click away. But the problem is, there are so many job sites on internet, if you go through all these job sites one by one and check all the ads manually, it may take you days or even weeks to find all matching jobs. To this end, many resume marketing services have emerged to handle this job for jobseekers. The idea is that, the more access you have to available job openings, the better chance you have to get an offer.

There are basically three different kinds of resume distribution services:

• Resume posting services that post your resume on related job sites.
• Resume blasting services that blast your resume to employers, recruiters, headhunters and search firms in your field.
• Virtual job application agents that find online matching jobs for you and then distribute your resume to the recruiters or hiring managers of these job openings.

You can also market your resume by yourself. In doing so, you need to create a list of recruiters and employers in your field first. In our Networking and Company Search page, and you'll find information on how to create such a list. Then get a free email account only for your job search use (so you can discard it after you find your job, see privacy protection information here). Now, you can send your resume with cover letter to this list of recruiters and employers. Make sure that your email body should be in text format, all Word and PDF files should be attached.
