Re job boards I totally agree. Considering that less than 5 percent of jobs are even filled via the internet for most companies, even in this day and age, it is really interesting that the internet still seems to be such a hot topic in the recruiting circles I often suggest to candidates they may also want to consider not flashing their resume all over the net. In My personal opinion a resume is a person's identity, it is and shows Who they ARE, what they do, and have done, where they live, and much more, especially if they read between the lines.. you will have no control over what happens to your information after you have hit the sent button. MSN also did a really great article a few years ago about the problems with possible ID theft from Scam jobs posted on the net. I have the link to the article, it is still live, but I am not sure if links are accepted here.. The title is Online job listing an ID theft scam - ‘Background check’ used to steal full slate of personal info. Reality is that the best way to get a job is Networking, being out there in the forefront, letting people know who you are. Where you are, and what you want to do now that you are growing up. Best way to do this is to get involved with Societies based upon the career you want to be in. Internships are also look excellent on Resumes (verbal or written).. The best Career Coaching I ever received in life was from my State's workforce Services. Free, excellent advice, they did test me and they gave me great counseling over a period of time that help to direct me on the path I am today. Ami, one suggestion if one does go for advice outside of the School, may I please suggest that One really does homework on the company or person you decide to work with. You would Research your doctor, your lawyer – why not the individual who is guiding you in YOUR next career move; The very thing that provides stability and income to you and your family. There are so many individuals who consider themselves resume writers, career counselors, and such like and they have no clue as to what they are doing. I have seen resumes where I could not believe that the individuals paid what they did for it. I have heard misguided and outdated advice. A suggestion is to look at counselors who are accredited; Yes, I do believe that Acronyms behind a name do mean a lot. It means that these individuals have taken the time to learn their industry, are concerned about reputation – theirs and Yours! It is imperative to know who those excellent counselors out there.. Partner with a Counselor who will respect your time, efforts and the biggest decision you are making with your life.. YOUR Job, which is also your identity as a person. Such an Important Topic. A Person's career. Their Life Choice, and especially when one is coming out of the Gate, and still a bit green.. Thanks so much for the excellent Advice. Karen Mattonen Ami,
