Resume' Automation
 

HI! all Just thought I would add the topic of resume' automation . I have done this through Hot jobs , Monster , Workopolis , HRDC etc . It alows me to change up the resume to a different style once and a while to give the broadist viewing I have a long and short resume' and depending ont the place I am applying to I have the option of using either as well as editting my cover letter to suit each emplyer . Some of these sites supply a counter displaying the viewing history of your resume' .

Thanks for the tip!
Did anybody ever call you? I am in a process of posting my resume online but with the recruiters not returning phone calls I'm getting quite upset. Does this really work?

Nobody has called yet Marinda but I have had some interesting back and forth emails . one from Farmont hotels at Lake Louise and one from a head hunting firm My problem is that I am getting close to retirement making it more difficult for me unfortunitly but at least you see the counter moving so sombody is interested some where . A heads up thought abought automation up load your resume' in word because more companies and employers use this form also have a long and a short resume online so its at the ready. Good to hear from someone good luck on your search.:) :)

Thanks for the encouragement! I guess I don't have any other choice do I :)

Good luck to you too.

Funny isn't it your still in the early stages of your career and experiencing much the same as myself nearing the end of mine . The transitions I am trying to do you would think a no brainer for someone ( employer ) . I have a Five page resume' and my resume' consultant shortened it down to 2 pages . In one interview I got the feeling Iwould be using the medical plan too much . I am a diabetic so it a gotta have but its not too expensive fear of the unknown I guess for them . You also get you are just too over qualified for us . Would you start at minimum wage . No fun eh!You'll get something Honest :rolleyes:
