How to Post Your CV/Resume Online 1. Customise your resume to your potential employer such that it somewhat matches the employer’s criteria without your even knowing who the employer is. 2. A cover letter is an important document that would help you to link up with the employer who finds you online and it would make more sense. Your cover letter should do the talking on your behalf and should be changed to text only document. 3. Visit Often: www.Expertini.Com as we provide only fresh jobs 4. Make sure your CV is posted at SearchLondonJobs.co.uk as the employer will preview it on our web link. http://www.Expertini.Com 5. Try to target also big boards first, like Monster, Yahoo/Hot jobs and CareerBuilder etc. 6. However, smaller boards should not be completely ignored. • There are a lot of industry specific job boards. To have better prospects of finding a job, try to upload your resume on as many boards as possible. • Many small general boards also are a good shot. This is a good idea as many employers do not like spending on big boards and prefer picking employees from smaller boards. • The more job boards you are on, the more are the chances of you being found by employers. 7. Many career boards have a Paste your resume section. To fill this resume builder section, you will need to gather your job history, your education information and skills from out of your resume and type them in these boards. • The list includes: • Name of company you're working with • Start and end your date • What your job responsibilities were • Your main achievements at work

8. Lot of free tools that work on the board when you post your resume on their site should be taken advantage of. Many career agent job sites provide list of jobs matching your e-mail as often as you wish. You can set up different agents to send you emails regarding the types of jobs you're looking for. Try to filter out the notifications you are not interested in but make sure you do not want to miss the ones you desire. Review • Many job boards ask you to paste a text-only resume. When a job board asks you to paste your resume, don't paste from an HTML or Microsoft Word formatted resume. Save your resume as a .txt file, open it in Notepad and format the spacing as follows: Don't try to center or right-align text. This formatting will be lost and won't look the way you'd like it to. Left-align all text. • As you will not be allowed to use bold, underline, or italics, you can still highlight your areas of importance in your resume by using CAPITAL letters and using blank lines between sections. 9.Consider using a professional resume writer who has experience with online resumes. It can be a science to put the right skills and phrases into a resume for you to come out on top of an employers search. If you do hire a resume writer, make sure and ask up front whether they have online posting experience and compare a few different writers. 10. You can think of using a resume posting service or a resume distribution service to save time and get the widest exposure quickly. Although most of distribution services do not cost more, consider how much money are you losing by not having your job more quickly. Using an outside service also allows you to focus your time on less tedious methods of job searching. 11. Pay attention to what you get for your money. Some sites send your resume out by email to employers and recruiters, some sites fax your resume to employers, and others actually post your resume online as if you had done it yourself. You may want to use one or more of these types of services. If you compare different services to each other, make sure you understand which type is the one for you.

Alert • List your experiences in making decisions about placing a street address. Some employers prefer candidates who mention their home address whereas many others do not. Those who want the home address are strict enough to discard any resume which lacks this information as they may feel that the candidate has something to hide from them. However, when making this decision, the Privacy selection has to be weighed. • Look out for spam! Almost every job site, where you post your resume online, asks for your email address in order to get yourself registered. These email addresses can be picked up by certain others considered as spam. So, a good idea would be to create a temporary email address for job hunting and later discard it when you are done. Some of your resumes posting services even provide an email address that can filter spam for you. We wish you a bright future!
