Seems there is a debate among job seekers - to blast or not to blast your resume over the internet to recruiters or corporate employers.
The bottom line is that there are 2.5 million unfilled jobs currently posted on the internet. In this economy, it is all about marketing. Marketing through the internet as proven to be a multi-billion dollar business. Look at advertising dollars with Google....
Having said that, blasting your resume should not be your only method of marketing yourself. Blasting your resume needs to be part of a comprehensive job search strategy that consists of blasting your resume, networking through former colleagues, networking through social media, attending various job fairs and functions, applying to open advertised positions, etc. Additionally your promotional message on your resume must be consistent with your face to face interviews. If you are getting interviews and not progressing in the hiring process, that typically means that your verbal message isn't in line with your written message (resume).
In this economy, it is paramount that you create the buzz about yourself and play the game to win.
