I was talking to a friend the other day, and he mentioned that he was still having trouble finding a better job.  We chatted a bit, and then I asked how he was doing with the online resume and job hunting websites.

He looked at me oddly for a moment and then said:  “Ya know, I’ve never put my resume into an online database.”

Hmmm, I wanted to reach across the table and shake my old buddy — he was missing a major tool in every dream jobber’s backpack.

Monster, Hotjobs, and Careerbuilder are the Big 3 of online recruiting — you can post your resume online in minutes.

For free.

Most of the employers and recruiters that use the Big 3 are looking for those mostly in traditional careers, but I’ve seen just about every job we cover in the Dream Jobs To Go series as well.

When I have my employer hat on at InfoSource, Inc., we’ve found Monster the better of three — they’ve delivered more targeted results — but that’s from an employer’s perspective.  And, because there’s no charge to the job seeker, you ought to be in all three.
