It is estimated that by 2002 there will be over 16 million resumes online spread over 1200 web sites, according to Computer Economics . Wading through that sea of resumes out there can be a real chore. For the job seeker, keeping a resume from sinking in that sea is even more of a challenge. As the Internet has grown it has become more and more popular to post a resume online. But as fast as it takes a web page to load, the novelty of online resumes is starting to wane.
Many people use the Internet to find jobs.
Very few apparently use it to comb through those resumes. I felt like I was throwing my resume into a black hole. I would respond to a job posting and nothing happened. Never would I hear what the outcome would be. I would attempt follow up and never did I get a response from that either.
