Does Putting Your Resume Online Make You Look Desperate?
The vast majority of my clients are senior level executives at companies that range from high tech start ups to Fortune 50 companies. Most of them have top tier graduate degrees and all are bright and talented. It surprises me that a great many of my clients plan to put their resumes on big job boards like Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com. Not that there is anything wrong with those sites but for a senior level exec they probably aren't the best places to be seen by the recruiters and executives you want to be seen by.
There is an excellent post at Empowered Career Woman that every job seeker should read called "My Resume Online = I'm Low Hanging Fruit?". Despite the blog name this post is not just for women. It's written from the perspective of an experienced recruiter so read what she says and take her comments seriously.
