There are thousands of places to post your
resume. Monster had 70 million resumes posted in early 2008 including
more than 2 million executive resumes. With about 140 million
employees in the United States workforce, the odds should be obvious.
1% in 90 days is way too high.
Let's do a sanity check. If you were an employer, where would
you look for posted resumes? That's where you want to post
yours. Would you look at the major six-figure job boards? Did your previous employers find executives using job boards?
Recruiters on the other hand are more likely to look for posted resumes on
these job boards, but those odds are also 1%.
Before you post your resume, consider the potential consequences.
You're exposing your personal information for the world to see
(identity theft)
and you WILL be contacted by "bottom feeders," aka ambulance
chasers. Some bottom feeders do a bait and switch - telling
you they have a job for you and then - oops, you don't fit - but
conveniently, they have something to sell you that might help.
