Many colleges and professional associations offer free or low-cost Web space and resources for posting resumes. Place the word 'resume' in the Web site address to increase your chances of being caught by Internet recruiters. Place plenty of links to Web sites of present and former employers, colleges, professional associations and publications on your digital resume. Create a simpler version of your resume to send to a recruiter or potential employer and let them know a longer version is available. Read the privacy policies of online job boards to prevent unwanted eyes from viewing your resume.
Some companies have 'Web scavengers' who check for their own employees' resumes online.
In turn, some job boards let users 'block' certain companies from seeing their postings. Use niche job boards in your field. Smaller, targeted boards can sometimes be more effective than the big brand name sites. CareerXroads, RISE Internet Recruiting Seminars, Advanced Internet Recruiting Strategies. Inc.
