What is a fair price to charge people for reviews of resumes? I'm considering opening up a business, with a specialization in reviewing resumes.

For job leads, you may want to check on Brightfuse or Linked in, which are networking sites.

Why do employers think resumes are important? I think resumes are pointless. First of all a piece of paper can't always represent an employee since resumes are just a way of actually judging without getting opportunity to know about the person. Plus resumes are not always true, I don't know what a resume proves. If I was just employer I would just ask proof of qualifications/education or experience and I would have to have potential employees provide addresses and numbers of the employers.
I am not hearing a reply from over twenty resumes and applications mailed. What am I doing wrong? I worked for a temporary agency that sent me to Home Depot. I asked the manager if I could bring a resume also. He got SASSY with me. HE SAID, "WE THROW RESUMES IN THE TRASH" We got into a big heated discussion right in front of th entrance. I am just trying to get a job. Also, many employers will not accept phone calls and even post signs about hiring or not hiring. I applied at another large company. I put my resume and application through the tiny window to the receptionist. She grabbed it and wrinkled it all up. Then, she slid the window shut very loudly. Why are companies being so rude to me. I NEED A JOB. I NEED TO WORK.

What is best way to store resumes in mysql? I'd like to be able to upload resumes into a mysql database, be able to search them by keywords, and retrieve them when needed.

That wouldn't be the answer to my question. I am considering buying an ATS if this becomes too complicated... Thanks!

How do you send out resumes without your vindictive employer seeing them? I have asked this question previously and obviously I was not clear about the situation, because the answers I got were not helpful; allow me to elucidate. My field is very specialized, so if I post my resume on a job seeking site for employer perusal, it will DEFINITELY be seen by my present employer. I would not be asking had this not happened several times in the past with disastrous results for the employment seeker (i.e., myself in this case). So please quit with all the advice about using computers at work, blah, blah, because it does not even matter in this case.

I'm not talking about a career I'm just talking about local restaurants. I just want to wait tables at Pizza Hut or something. I don't mean my dream job. calm down everyone...

Do Employers Actually Match Previous Resumes with New Positions? Every time I submit my resume to a company via their online database I get a message saying that my resume will be stored for 6 months to a year so that they can contact me if something they have matches my skill set. However, I've never been contacted for an unsolicited position (one that I specifically did not apply). I have a hunch that employers rely on new submissions to fill new positions (rather than scanning their large banks of resumes) and that one has to keep applying for positions as they are posted rather than waiting for the employer to match their resume to a new position. Is this true? I'm searching for my first job so I wanted to ask those with more experience for their insight.
