Job Searching on the Internet
If you are just starting a job search, the Internet should be the first place you turn to, not the last. Why? In most cases, it’s free, and it’s fast and far-reaching. If you read the first part, you’ll remember that those are similar to the reasons that employers are now recruiting on the Internet in record numbers.
Preparing Your Electronic Résumé
The first step is to prepare your electronic résumé. If you haven’t been out in the job market for a while, you can use an old résumé to jog your memory about past employment details, but preparing an electronic résumé involves a great deal more than simply dusting off and adding to that old tried-and-true version. The reasons are twofold:
· Employers are using résumé-tracking software that lets them scan paper résumés or add résumé files to a database that can be searched by keywords and all sorts of other criteria.
· Recruiters search online databases of résumés in the same way.
Thus, the content of an electronic résumé is different as well as the format.
