NEW YORK, NY — About 42% of 753 laid-off managers surveyed land interviews after posting their resumes or retrieving job listings online, according to a survey by outplacement consultants Lee Hecht Harrison.
As a matter of fact, according to a recent poll by the Society for Human Resource Management, 86% of human resource professionals now rely on Internet job postings to get the word out about positions open at their organizations. So using the Internet for job finding works! Still, with an estimated 40,000 job boards, and literally millions of jobs currently spread out amongst the top 100 job boards, you must use the Internet creatively.

Big career sites such as Monster.com provide a vast array of vacancies and employer data, but you can also expect a fair amount of competition. And because job boards charge employers and recruiters to search resumes and post jobs, more and more headhunters and company recruiters are lowering their costs and turning to the lesser expensive, smaller job boards to search for candidates. So to optimize your job search, it’s a good idea to post your resume to several career websites both large and small.
