Posting resume online?

[Fredwina]

I would think that anything cant hurt. I got my current position through careerbuilder.com , but most of the recruiting in my field is on-line
Network and being persistent does pay off.

I don't know if there are temp agencies in your town/city but you can register on thier websites. Just ensure you ask around for which ones are worth applying with. Once in the loop with the agencies, remember to keep pestering them!

Eden- so sorry to hear you got laid off. It can be especially rough at this time.

I'm currently job hunting as well and my resume is on Careerbuilder and Monster. I have had interviews based on both of those sites. The other day a few friends recommended Craigslist.com and I was very surprised that they had a really decent joblisting in my area and specialty. There were quite a few employers including IBM who post positions on that site.

Be prepared to post an electronic version of your resume (unformatted without bullets, italic fonts, etc.,) to the site. Another annoying thing to be aware of with Careerbuilder and Monster is the amount of advertising you may receive from the site sponsors. Make sure you don't accidently check "yes" to the receive more info from X Y or Z schools.

Hope your search will be a very short one. Hang in there.
