In the age of the Internet, the job search process has changed. New web sites have emerged to provide job seekers with quality information on job hunting and resume writing.
Many of you have heard of Monster.com and HotJobs.com, which are industry leaders, but be aware that there are hundreds of quality web sites with job postings and areas for posting your resume. Some job boards are even specialized, such as job sites for health care professionals, technology professionals or attorneys. Other job boards may focus on career levels such as executives or students.
When you arrive at a job board to conduct your resume posting, you will find that it's not a complicated process. On almost every job board, you will need to create a login and password to enter the resume posting section. You will then have a form to fill out which will ask for contact information, general job information and of course, your resume. After visiting a few of these sites, you will realize that while it's easy to post your resume, it can become time consuming.
This is where resume posting services can come in handy. There are services available for quickly posting your resume on to these job boards for a reasonable fee. There are also services that will email your resume to recruiters. These services can save you a lot of time in many ways:
- It takes time and research to identify job boards and recruiters. These services generally have a long list of the highest traffic job boards.

Of course, each job board will ask different questions and may have different kinds of services available such as setting up filters to send you jobs that meet your qualifications. For that reason, it's often wise to visit each site. However, by having a resume posting service perform the basics of setting up the account and posting the basic information, you can dramatically cut down on the time it takes to get your resume in front employers that are searching these boards.
