Why should I create a resume?
When you apply for a job online, your resume is your best opportunity to showcase your skills to potential employers. In addition, stored resumes can be searched by employers who may be looking for you. You can also choose to upload a custom resume when you apply for jobs, but those documents cannot be stored in your account or searched by employers.
What are the benefits of creating a resume?
Even if you are not currently looking for a job, keeping a current resume gives you options. You can apply for jobs quickly and easily using stored resumes and cover letters or let employers find your posted resume. Each account can save up to four custom resumes to give you the flexibility of fine tuning your resume for specific jobs or industries.
Which employers have accessed my resume off of the searchable database?
We do not track who has seen your resume. Employers will contact you if your qualifications meet their needs.
How will employers find my resume?
If you have posted your resume, employers can do a quick search, which will match keywords. Other items such as city, zip code, desired work type, language(s) spoken and work authorization may also be used in resume searches. You have two options when storing your resume on Jobfinderusa.com:
- 1. Public: Selecting this option will make all of your contact information and work experience viewable by employers.
- 2. Private: If you select a private resume, employers are unable to search for it. However, your resume will still remain in our database so that you can still send it to the employers when you apply for a job on our site. Private is a good choice if you want to apply for a specific position without being contacted by other employers.
Each resume can be made either public or private and this setting can be changed at anytime using the edit resume feature located in the "My Account" page.
