advertising your resume on a job board or not

Did you know...excerpt from Cynthia Shapiro, Arthor...you may find of interest reasons not to post your resume at Monster, YahooHotJobs, CareerBuilder, or any site that sells your resumes to HR personnel or recruiting & staffing companies whether you are gainfully employed...

"Yes, there are those few individuals who claim to have been offered a job after posting a resume, but in most cases it works against you - not for you."

"Doing a blanket posting of your resume can be seen as a desperate move by hiring managers. In this tight job market, no hiring manager will look on those job boards for candidates, but they will take a look if you end up in their top three for a position, and if they see that you've had a posted resume up on one of the boards for a while, they will assume you are undesirable or unemployable and cut you from their list. It is much better to do a targeted submission process for qualified open positions so that you look like a conscientious and sought-after candidate.
Hiring managers know that if you had lots of companies interested in you, or had a few job offers pending, you'd never post your resume out in the open, you'd be much more selective. Posting on job boards makes you look like you'll take 'any job' and that's not what will get you the top offers. Those postings won't do much for you in your job search, but they can work against you."

" I recommend pulling them all down and doing your own targeted submission process, you'll have much better luck. "
