Make the most of the improving job market
Staff Writer, The Career News

The job market is improving. Hiring is definitely on the rise. If you're currently in the job market, now is the time to make sure your resume is where hiring managers will find it. Most recruiters and hiring managers first turn to one of the hundreds of career sites or resume banks to find suitable job candidates to fill their positions. That's why posting your resume on all the top career sites will give you the competitive advantage and maximize your job opportunities.

And while there are currently millions of jobs listed on all the top career websites, more and more companies report they are searching the job boards for candidates without posting their upcoming jobs -- due to fear of an onslaught of unqualified applications.

That makes this the BEST time to put your resume on all major career sites which are collectively reported to be searched by 1.5 million employers, recruiters and hiring managers daily.

According to a survey by the Society for Human Resource Management, 88% of human resource professionals now rely on Internet to fill positions open in their organizations.

How long does it take?

Researching which sites to post to and then filling out all of their forms will take a fair amount of time. If you don't want to spend 60 hours filling out forms and researching sites, you can turn to a service called Resume Rabbit, which will instantly post your resume on up to 75 top career sites for you. You can find it by following this link.

This site is easy to use, takes only 5 minutes to complete, saves you tons of time and instantly posts your resume on all the best career sites like Monster, Job.com, CareerBuilder, Net-Temps, Dice.com, & more.

Why post to all the sites?

The answer is: To be in the right places at the right times! Especially now.

While many companies search the largest career sites, increasingly employers and recruiters are cutting costs by searching the lesser expensive mid-sized career sites.

This means that the hiring managers and jobs are dispersed amongst a large number of career sites. And in this market, the window of opportunity for a job is a little smaller than usual, so it's important that you're where the jobs are when they're available.

Can I Post My Resume Confidentially?

You can still post your resume online while remaining anonymous if you use Resume Rabbit by selecting "Post My Resume Confidentially" during their registration process. In this case they will select the confidentiality option on career websites offering that feature. For career websites that do not offer a confidentiality feature, they will replace your personally identifiable information and current company name with something non-descript.

Does It Really Work?

It's a fact that most hiring managers use the internet to find their candidates. Of course, when there are more jobs available in the market, your chances are better of finding a job faster.

However, even when the job market is weak, it's even more important that you give yourself a competitive advantage over others applying for the same jobs, by making sure your resume is "findable" on all top career sites.

Here are a couple of comments about being on all the career sites from users of Resume Rabbit:

A customer service representative in Missouri named Jim used Resume Rabbit to post his resume and commented,

"I signed up on a Tuesday and by Thursday the job offers started pouring in. By Friday, I had a job set up!"

Ronnie, a sales representative in Texas reports,

"I got the account on Sunday evening and by Monday morning I was already getting phone calls from recruiters. That was fast and easy. There are so many job sites out there it would have taken weeks."

Since 1999 Resume Rabbit has performed over 1 million resume postings for some very happy customers who feel the service can't be beat. Whether you fill out the forms yourself or elect to have a service like Resume Rabbit do it for you, being on all the major career sites is a good idea. It's a competitive job market right now. If you know how to play the numbers you can beat the odds and succeed.
