Writer2734 in Charlotte, North Carolina 5 months ago	I understand that to avoid moving further down on a list of resumes, job seekers need to refresh their resumes periodically by making changes. What, exactly, do I need to change, and how often? - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
dontwanttobea99er in Somerville, Massachusetts 5 months ago	I'm not even bothering to apply to jobs until Jan 2, 2012....because I'm willing to bet that most companies are going to purge their resume collection (assuming they even have one) for the new year. I don't think any resumes sent between Christmas and Jan 2 have a hope of being seen by anyone. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse

What, exactly, do I need to change, and how often? Every 30 days, I delete my resume entirely. Then, I wait a few days and repost it. Old resumes are about as appetizing as old tuna salad. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No (1) Reply - Report abuse
Fogcity Girl in San Francisco, California 5 months ago	I have noticed that every time I refresh my resume on sites like Careerbuilder and Monster, I get a call. Well, I haven't done it recently, but it is a good idea, especially after January 1. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse
dontwanttobea99er in Somerville, Massachusetts 5 months ago	the only calls I get from careerbuilder are insurance companies who will hire anybody with a network. They don't want you....they want you to sell their product to your network of friends and family. If you don't have one, don't bother applying. - Was this comment helpful?

Ella in Skokie, Illinois 5 months ago	The results from my resume are scam artists! Emails from agencies all over the country that have a job for me. They don't realize that some of the jobs they are telling me about are more than 50 miles away. Local agencies also contact me and tell me that they have "several" openings and want me to come in and register ASAP. I am on break this week along with the managers who are on the beach in Hawaii with family. Who is thinking about hiring on this slowest week of the year? - Was this comment helpful?

Parafreegal in Dolton, Illinois 5 months ago	I don't know what people are referring to by "refreshing" their resume to get to the top. I took my resume off of all online job sites after getting nothing but the aforementioned insurance scams and health insurance phone calls. Sometimes, when I apply for a job off of CB, I'll notice I'll start getting more spam as well. CB is probably the worst legit job site of them all, not including scam sites like Jobfox. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

Job boards are also the prime hunting grounds for recruiters. They pay a monthly fee to comb through all the resumes. Weeding out the legit jobs from the scams, schools and kitchen table corporations is a job in itself. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
dontwanttobea99er in Somerville, Massachusetts 5 months ago	CareerBuilder is almost nothing but nonsense. I'd like to hear about the good job that someone got off of there, because I don't think anyone has. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
