Employers receive unsolicited resumes from many interested and qualified job seekers.
On the average, one job offer is made for every 1470 resumes received. Most employers do not use on-campus recruiting to fill their employment needs. Most employment agencies are profit-making organizations and may be trying to place job seekers in positions as quickly as possible to earn a commission. Thus, the job seeker's objective may not be at the agency s upper-most interest. Many employment experts advocate a more active and assertive approach to finding a job known as the non-traditional job search.
