Not necessarily to find more job postings (although that is certainly possible), but to connect and interact with people you might not ever have another opportunity to "know" online or meet in person.

30-Day Job Promotion - a review
www.keppiecareers.com
I am a big proponent of "driving your own career bus." I believe that each individual maintains responsibility for his or her career path. Sometimes, driving your own career bus means identifying red flags at work that indicate a potential lay-off, sometimes it means finding a new job because you really hate the current position or because there are no growth opportunities. However, sometimes, dr… Continue

Next-Day Job Interview - a review...
Keppie Careers
I would be the last one to suggest you leave your interview preparation to the last minute. So, I hesitated when I saw the title of this book and its subhead: "Prepare tonight and get the job tomorrow." Hmm...Maybe not a good idea to suggest this tact to job seekers? In fact, the authors note that, ideally, you will spend a week or two preparing for an interview.
However, I like the gist of the book -… Continue

If you are afraid to make a change in your career and/or hesitant to begin to take the wheel to drive your own career bus, you are not alone! Many people facing a change stop in their tracks because they can't figure out what to do next and don't want to make the "wrong" move.

Your question regarding resume scanning is not easy to answer because employers have many options when they make use of the Monster resume database search. Some will specifically search by date range (as in recently uploaded resumes), and some just by school name/ degree. Some employers are more interested in searching by level of experience. So you see, there are so many variables.
Here's a tip, if you already have a resume uploaded on Monster, if you make any change at all and then save your changes, the database will push it to the top of the list because of the recent activity. And many employers will select a recent date range when searching for candidates.
Personally, I would advise the job seeker to represent himself as honestly as possible, meaning note the latest graduation date; this way he will avoid having to backtrack at an interview.
I have a question that I'm hoping you can help me with. I need my resume perfessional done and I'm really not sure which route to go or what web sites are acctually credible. Do you have any suggestions?
Thnx =)
I am currently looking for a job and have a resume if you don't mind taking a look at it. Where can I send it? My email address is jchang6776@gmail.com
