Have You Updated Your Online Resume Today?

Here is an important piece of information about success in your job search. If you have your resume posted on some of the online job boards you must make frequent updates.
The reason for this is simple. Job boards rank resumes by how old the resume is. This means that someone who posted their resume today would appear on top of the search results over someone who posted their resume a year ago.
Job boards rank resumes this way because someone who posted their resume today is more likely to sill be looking for a job vs. someone who posted their resume last year.
The bottom line is that if you are using online job boards (and you should be) then update your resume once a week. This will reset your resume and move you to the top of the search rankings.
By the way you don’t have to make radical changes. Simply change around a word or two.
Cheers
