There are two types of career sites where you can post your resume: free and premium. We will discuss both options to ensure that you're aware about benefits and disadvantages of both approaches.




Every job seeker should consider posting his resume to job search engines like

MONSTER
CareerBuilder
Yahoo!Hotjobs
Beyond.com
Job.com
SnagAJob.com
NET-TEMPS
HotResumes.com .

Also check our menu at the left for professional and regional career sites that apply to you.

There is only one possible issue with your resume on above mentioned sites. What if you still have a job and don't want your current employer to find out that you're looking for work elsewhere?

Some of the above mentioned career sites offer a privacy option that allows job seeker to block certain companies from viewing his resume. If the job website doesn't offer such feature and you are concerned about boss running across your resume, then don't post it.


Resume Rabbit submits your resume to many general and professional job search sites. If you're a disciplined person who can post two or three resumes a day, there is no need to spend money for such service. However Resume Rabbit can be a great solution for people who can't bring themselves to post more than a couple resumes a month.

EmalMyResume.com distributes your resume to numerous recruiters and companies. ResumeZapper.com sends resumes to hundreds of recruiters. In my view EmalMyResume.com and ResumeZapper.Com can be good options for job seekers who have been searching for a while. If nothing seems to work, may be it's a good idea to re-energize your job hunt by sending your resume to many places at once.


It's not enough just to know where to post your resume. You must do it the right way.

"What is the right way to distribute my resume?", one might ask. It depends on your particular situation.

If you're professional in a hot, growing industry, it may be enough to post resume with major career websites. At the same time if you happen to be a recent college graduate or face bleak professional prospects due to economy, it makes sense to be more aggressive in your resume distribution efforts.




You have all necessary information and now it's time to come up with a plan on where and how to post your resume. Good luck!
