- 5 Comments
A few weeks ago, we told you that on average, employers receive more than 75 résumés per open position.
With that type of competition you better make sure your résumé stands out among the masses. The question is, how?
Crafting an outstanding résumé is no easy feat, so you should be utilizing every possible outlet to ensure your résumé lands at the top of every potential employer’s stack.
Lucky for you, CareerBuilder.com has the just the resources to help you.
Here are four helpful tools that will help your résumé stand out to employers:
cbRésumé
How it helps: Job seekers can get a free résumé critique online. If desired, they can sign up to work with a professional résumé writer who specializes in their field and job level.
Snapshots
How it helps: Helps your résumé stand out to employers searching CareerBuilder.com’s résumé database by attaching icons designating everything from academic degree to skills and certifications.
Résumé Upgrade
How it helps: Job seekers can move their résumé toward the top of employer searches to increase their visibility.
Résumé Direct
How it helps: Sends your résumé directly to targeted recruiters nationwide.
Just thought I would share something with other job seekers out there especially with all of the buzz about video resume's. My friend who as also recently laid off had a resume' webcast produced by a firm out of Dallas. He uploaded a few images and his resume and they came back with the following:

They're doing one for me as we speak and we only paying $99 bucks and in my opinion they look better than the one I did propping my brother's camcorder on the book shelf:)
Hope this can help someone else out.
