Searching, Managing resumes in YAHOO!

Caveat : You need to download Yahoo Toolbar

Yahoo has so many search fields/commands like intitle, inurl, link, site, linkdomain etc and the two most useful for recruiters/sourcers would be intitle and inurl.

What they do?

intitle: To find a specific keyword as part of the indexed titles.
inurl: To find a specific keyword as part of indexed URLs.

Lets start with intitle command and asking Yahoo to search for J2EE and swing with keyword "resume"which brings me more than 16k results.

How about using inurl?
Searching with inurl:resume j2ee swing

inurl-J2EE Swing.jpg

That gives me more than 27k results. Lets stick with inurl for the moment.

By the way did you noticed the "more from this site" button? Click on it and it will show you the home page of the site. Wow you got 6 more resumes there.

Finding the resumes were easy but how about saving or storing them?

Right click on one of the search results and click "Bookmark this link". You can create a separate folder for your resumes and even tag them or add notes.

Now this folder goes along with you anywhere you have access to internet even if you don't have Toolbar in that particular computer. Wasn't that easy? Watch this 2 min video showing the entire process mentioned above.
