Job boards are one of the best ways to get your resume seen by potential companies and recruiters, whether you are a passive candidate or aggressive candidate.
The information that you provide when posting your resume is important and should be completely accurate.
The more information you enter the easier it will be for a company or recruiter to know who you are and what you are looking for.
One of the most important responsibilities is to make sure that your information is up to date.
If you put in that you live in Jackson Mississippi and then you move to Kansas, if you haven’t updated the information on all the job boards that you have your resume posted to, you are doing yourself a disservice.
The other important part is to make sure you update your skills and any certifications that you may have obtained. This will give a recruiter more information to review before reaching out.
When a recruiter is looking on a job board for resumes, they have specific requirements that they look for. Location is very important but also skills and certifications.
Take the time to update and refresh your resume posting to let the recruiter know that you are available. Resume searches are based on drop down windows, one of those is, last updated. If you haven’t updated your resume but you are still looking for a position, a recruiter won’t know that you are still available if they are looking at resumes that were updated within the last 10 or 30 days.
