Is posting your resume on an Internet site a useful activity?
Claims are made that over 10 million “hits” are recorded, each day, on perhaps 2,000 +, job-related web-sites. HOWEVER, simply posting your resume on any web-site, is definitely—NOT EFFECTIVE—especially for getting job-interviews. Statistically, ONLY about 3-4% of ALL jobs gotten are the result of using Internet sources. In fact, even the majority of these jobs result from sending your resume, via e-mail, DIRECTLY to a company, versus coming to you as a result of posting your resume on some job-board/site.

<>What about job-leads, researched from the Internet, can they be productive?
Absolutely, yes. Web searches aimed at digging out listings of prospective job-lead sources can be a valuable and productive job-search method, but it is just one of many you should use. Listed below are several web-sites to consider exploring for job listings, and/or other types of job-search information and assistance, such as interviewing skill tips, salary ranges for some types of jobs, and more.

Some services are free, some offer free-&-fee services, such as this site does.
