Submitting resume made easy!

One of the questions that I asked my career counselors was that "which are the sites where i can post my resume for FREE and have it exposed to potential employer in no time?". I was naive at that time and some of the advertisements that we see on TV were not very prominent. So finding a good site which was reliable and had good exposure was a tough job. What I mean by reliable is that some of the job site(s) sell your information since it is coming from a genuine job seeker and make money out of it. Although, it is never guaranteed with a website that you subscribe to, it is always a concern among individuals.

Some of the resources for posting your resume are as follows:

These are some of the major sites I used while my job search life. There are some other sites also which can post resume and also have additional options like emailing to thousands of employers by one Click! But normally they are expensive and success is not guaranteed. I used it and all I got reply backs was from consulting and staffing firms. I was hoping I would get hooked up with a decent employer in no time but it didn't happen even after paying $55.00 for that service. So whether to go for it or not, I would say its a mere subjective issue and also it depends on the time. If you are still searching for a job after 6+ months with no hits, then its time to STOP applying for jobs and contact some staffing agencies or consulting firms. It is also known that since it is costing companies to have their own Human Resource department installed in their company, some of the small to mid-size companies tend to outsource the recruiting to these staffing and consulting firms. This happens because it saves time and money in recruiting employees for positions. Also, one of the reason in my intuition is that since some of the companies need employees for short duration like 4-5 months, they don't want go through the hassle every time they have to hire such short duration candidates. Also, most of the staffing and consulting firm have great presence in this market and can get you the job with mere 2-3 weeks if you show enough competency.
