Another Job Hunting Technique

Now we can post your resume on the web, specifically at http://iheresumes.blogspot.com/.  When you send your resume to the Career Services Department (CSD), include a note to them that you would like your resume posted online.  CSD will forward it to me, and I'll post it and tell you the URL (web address) of your online resume, which you can include in your cover letters when you apply for jobs.

A word of caution:  Remember that when you post something on the internet, everyone can see it.  This includes your phone number, email address, postal address, and anything else you include.  Remember that there are criminals on the internet.

This poses a problem.  You want potential employers who see your resume to be able to invite you for an interview, but you do not want just anyone to know where you live.

Here are two possible options:

1.  We can ask potential employers to contact us directly.
2.  If you have a profile on LinkedIn or other website, you can include the URL for your profile.  This way, people can send you emails indirectly even if they do not have your email address.

Remember that IHE is closed Good Friday, April 6.
