Just talked to my old boss, who wants me to interview for a job at one of his clients in a few weeks.
He also passed along a tip I didn’t know. When you have your resume in a database like Monster or Careerbuilder, go in and change some minor detail every week or so. He said a lot of businesses only search among those resumes added in the last seven days, and every time you change something, it labels your resume as new.
I did not know that!
That’s good to know. Thanks for passing it on.
Good luck with that lead, Susie.
I’m thinking good thoughts for you, Susie!
Wow, thanks for the tip. I just went and edited my resume on careerbuilder.com. Let’s see what happens.
Yeah, I remember using that trick a couple years ago during my last protracted period of unemployment. You don’t even have to change anything, just delete a letter and reinsert it, and it’ll register as having been updated.
Good luck on that interview.
