Top Sites for Resume Posting

While many search the Internet and various job websites for employment opportunities, others take the approach of posting their resumes online for employers to browse through. While there are many resume website available on the Internet, not all of them gain the traffic or attention by employers that is needed for effective results. Instead, applicants who post resumes should go where those who hire are.

Monster also offers services for the job seeker, as applicants may create several resumes and cover letters and post them publicly. This allows employers to view relevant resumes for positions available through a simple keyword search. For example, if the employer is looking for a receptionist, a search will list all of the resumes of those who have selected receptionist as their choice of profession. Having your resume on Monster will not only give you public exposure, but may lead you to a direct contact in a prominent company.
