Web sites can help you conduct research on industry trends and on your prospective employer. A good place to start is the Employers page. Other sites help you brush up on interview skills and rewriting your r sum . Most sites even allow you to post your r sum at no charge. But whether online r sum s are a successful way to find a job is a point of debate.
Few recruiters read online r sum s when hunting for candidates to fill a job opening.
Those recruiters who do say they do so only as an alternative to using headhunters to recruit upper management positions. It is still better to obtain information from websites about where to mail your resume. You can learn ways to send your resumes to recruiters, such as the instructions offered at PPA's Resume page. Once you have landed your dream job, go back online and research salary surveys and polish up your salary negotiation skills. For this information, you may want to try the Salary Survey page.
