How well do the resume posting sites (Monster, Careerbuilder, Dice) work?
« on: December 20, 2010, 04:14:42 PM »
I'm absolutely fed up with my current job, and a former boss, now colleague of mine suggested posting up my current resume to these sites.  What kinds of things should I expect?  Do they actually work well?  Is there anything that I need to add/shouldn't put on there?  I'm new to actually looking for a new job.

CraigsList or newspaper. But you can try your luck on those resume sites... you'll just be yet another in the sea of the unemployed though. Approach companies personally.

I found a job using Monster several years ago, but I used it as a automated search engine, wherein they email you positions you might be interested in on a daily basis based on some keywords you supply, then I contacted those places directly.

I still get calls for interviews based on a 4 year resume on monster. 

Hmmm, why did you decide to only cover 4 years in your resume?

Because being a serial killer isn't a positive.

I'm getting automated calls saying their company is interested in my resume, but they don't say where they're from or what they do.  That sounds totally legit to me.

I found Dice to be the best as far as getting called about opportunities as a programmer. Of course, it also depends upon how active the market is in your particular neck of the woods. Where I used to be (Greeensboro, NC), the market for programming has been dead since the great economic cratering of 2008. However, where I am now (Charlotte, NC), the programming market has recovered quite nicely, despite overall unemployment in the area still hovering around 10%.
