The Sad Facts About Your Resume Plan . . . It WON’T Work For You Online!

I know! I know! Everybody does it. The conventional wisdom is that you will have a successful resume plan when you post it online at a couple job search sites. Or, you email or snail mail it to dozens of employers.

You’d think it would make a lot of sense to do it that way. Maximum exposure with minimum effort. But, here’s a reality check. You see, according to the most recent studies only 7% of job hunters have found “opportunities” that match their credentials. Notice, I didn’t say job offers.

And then you add on top of that the other remarkable statistic . . . over 80% of high-quality, high-paying jobs are found through word of mouth!

So, the straightforward answer to an online resume plan is, “Hold on!” I‘m not saying never post your resume. But don‘t expect it to produce many useful results. . . at least not if you’re serious about finding a job you’re happy with. And not if you’re willing to wait weeks or months till something comes along.

You see, an online resume plan is the easy way out . . . but definitely not the fastest or best way. There are two ways to utilize an online resume plan:

1. Post it on several job search websites like Monster.com or HotJobs.com.

2. Create your own website or blog featuring your resume.

Another major problem with this approach can be summed in one word: COMPETITION! There are hundreds of thousands of digital resumes floating around in cyber space. Be realistic. What are your chances that exactly the right boss is going to pick your resume and offer you a job?

Look, it’s only natural that you want to get as much exposure as possible. Nothing wrong with that. But an online resume plan that posts resumes on those job websites is definitely NOT the way to go . . . at least if you don’t plan to spend weeks or months looking for a job.

I suppose we’re all victims of “do it fast and easy” electronic techniques. It seems logical. The internet provides global exposure for our credentials. All we have to do is wait for one or two of those millions of internet users (many of whom are employers) to discover our resume . . . theoretically.

However, mass exposure didn’t work in the days before the internet. And it doesn’t work now. It’s really just a question of statistics.

Job search experts know that relying on an electronic resume or a digital job search is hopeless. This doesn’t mean that every so often someone hits. But you’re more likely to get struck by lightning or win the lottery. There has to be a better way!

And there is! You need to put aside a digital resume and all forms of electronic or analog mass marketing .
In stead, you want to focus on the way most serious job seekers actually find their very best job opportunities . . . word of mouth!

With a proven plan you can learn a few simple alternative job search strategies. With these you can be looking at honest, real job offers that match up with your interests in as little as two weeks!
