How to Make a Resume goes Online, a perspective, is it worth the time to try……….

How to make a resume online was always a big question for everyone even for me, at least a while ago, many question like: how to do it, is it worth the time to make one, is anyone (employers) will bother to consider it or even read it, how effective it compare with printed resume that send directly to employers, well don’t judge it first the path of finding job is goes online now…..

Jeanni Dennis quickly learned that the job-search process is a lot different now than when she applied for an administrative assistant position four years ago.

Dennis, 52, was laid off in March from an educational services company in Wilmington, Del. Since then, she has been visiting the Delaware Department of Labor's employment and training center regularly to use its computer, fax and other job-search tools.

"It used to be you could look in the newspaper and find jobs, but now almost all the jobs are online," said Dennis, of New Castle, Del. "Now you have to have a computer, access to a computer and an e-mail address."

Today, many companies post job openings online, either on their own Web sites or on job-clearinghouse sites like Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com.

Some people is already have a hesitant feeling when they hear about online resume, ah it’s not going to work or Oh I’ve been doing this for a while and nothing happened this thing will never work , for Leena Ramchandani, 23, getting a job with Microsoft Software Development in New York has been a dream come true. Leena liked to frequently post her resume on a job site, and she landed a job with Microsoft courtesy her persistent efforts.

“I used to surf the Internet between lectures, and lately had been sending my resume to monster.com, which many thought it was wastage of time. But my efforts paid off. I was selected for the training program in Microsoft. The company not only provided me with a free journey to New York but also provided free boarding and lodging at New York,” narrated an elated Leena.

Another advantage to online resumes is the significant cost savings over traditional methods. Both Applicants and employers will save a lot of money.

The Employment Management Association has included internet advertising in its cost-per-hire surveys for several years. In 1997, for example, it reported that the average cost-per-hire for a print ad was $3,295, while the average cost-per-hire with the Internet was $377. This in turn has cut costs for many growing organizations, as well as saving time and energy in recruitment. Until the development of résumés in an electronic format, employers would have to sort through massive stacks of paper to find suitable candidates without any way of filtering out the poor candidates. Employers are now able to set search parameters in their database of résumés to reduce the number of résumés which must be reviewed in detail in the search for the ideal candidate.
