Getting Your Resume Read on Monster.com

My key to success was to edit my resume every day. Apparently HR types basically go to Monster in the morning, do a "new resumes in the last 24 hours" and use that list.

So by opening my resume, adding a space (then taking it out, putting it in and shaking it all about) each day, I was always on the list.

Oh, and I always do my resume work around 4-10am. Post/edit starting at 4am (so my stuff is most recent), then look for resume listings from about 5/6-10 (picking up the early morning job postings and replying immediately)

It kept the phone ringing...
