I tried them in Spetember and got nothing. However, the timing could not have been worst so who knows?
I am considering doing this "resume broadcasting" again but I am now told that other disrtibution services like Career Express may be a better choice? Any feedback/recomendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks |

I have been unemployed since September. I have spent countless hours on the computer and by phone with recruiters and job board related issues. Resume blasting, I did this twice, was as productive for me as placing that money in a pile and setting it on fire. You will get nothing but autoreplies. In one blast my resume went to Kmart, Walmart, some grocery store chain. I mean it was a real joke. My wife and I had real fun with the outcome.
However, what does it hurt right? I am a highly educated person with years of experience in sales/marketing in telecom/IT. I learned after three months the hard way. Nothing folks beats Networking with who you know or your former schools. This is how I am getting my interviews. Good luck!
