THE BEST JOB SEARCH RESOURCES ON THE INTERNET

Although many of the employment search engines listed on this website offer free job search resources such as resume builders, job skill testing, career assessment evaluations, etc., there are also a number of specialized sites that offer additional and uniquely valuable tools and resources for the jobseeker, usually for a fee. We believe the following sites are the best in their service markets.

I. Job Search Resources--Resume Distribution Sites

How does a Resume Distribution site differ from a job search site? Most job boards and employment sites offer jobseekers the opportunity to post their resumes in a database. However, this means that employers and recruiters have to search to find a candidate. Once they perform a resume search they have to decide to read any given resume from among the hundreds of thousands which were returned in the search. A Resume Distribution service sends a member's resume directly to recruiters and companies through email, making it easier for the candidate to get noticed. The Resume Distribution sites listed below all charge a fee for their services.

1. ResumeRabbit.com. ResumeRabbit.com is among the more popular job search resources on the internet. As a leading resume distribution site, it submits a customer's resume and job requirements to over 80 top job sites including Monster.com, Job.com, CareerBuilder.com, Yahoo! HotJobs.com and more. There is a one-time fee for each posting.

2. EmailMyResume.com. EmailMyResume.com can send a member's resume directly to recruiters and companies through email, a process which requires no additional work from a registered subscriber.
