1, You have to include industry keywords in your resume in order to be picked up by recruiters or employers. What are keywords? For example, if you are a Pharmaceutical Sales Representative, your keywords might be “mood stabilizing drugs”, “Prozac”, “Zoloft”, “Paxil” etc. Just build these into your job descriptions and job accomplishments.
The reason why you want to include keywords in your resume is because both recruiters and employers will be searching for potential candidates by typing in certain keywords. (They are looking for someone with
kinds experiences your keywords convey).
2, The other important item to remember when posting to job search sites is that it is not an “active” way of looking for work.
Only a fraction of all job seekers find employment via posting their resumes to job search sites. Job search sites have thousands if not millions of resumes in their databases so
likelihood of your resume popping up in front of a recruiter or an employer is very slim.
After briefly reviewing both
resume distribution and resume posting services, my professional recommendation is to use
first one:
resume distribution. The reason for my recommendation is that when you have a resume distribution service distributing your resume, it will be a TARGETED distribution, not a blind action in job search process (like
resume posting). To find resume distribution services, just go to google.com and put “resume distribution service” into
search engine. Good luck!
