Resumes 24/7 Benefits

Stand out from the crowd

In today's job market, it is essential to market yourself in a professional manner. A homemade, free-hosted website will not impress potential employers.

Your resume will always be available

You may not always have your resume with you, but with a Resumes 24/7 Resume Hosting Package you will be able to access your resume wherever you are. If you are talking to someone across the country (or even in the same room), you can simply tell them to visit your website address (e.g. www.yourname.com) to review your experience and objectives.

Get an easy to remember domain name

You will have your own domain name (e.g. yourname.com) that you can tell people to visit in order to review your resume. Be sure to include it in your email signature file. Many career professionals recommend printing up "calling cards" (like business cards) with a brief description of your career objective along with your contact information. Include your website address on your calling card so that people can visit your website to get all the information about you.

Get your own email address

When applying for a job, it is important to use a professional sounding email address. Using a personal email address (such as sweetcheeks@hotmail.com) has been known to send a resume to the discard pile. With your Resumes 24/7 Resume Hosting Package, you will have your own email address (e.g. you@yourname.com) which will help you to professionally market yourself. You can also print your email address on calling cards.

Edit your resume website at any time

You can easily update your website at any time, from anywhere. All you need is a computer with an internet connection to log in to your account and add new skills or accomplishments, whatever you want to change. You can even change your site to a completely different template!

Include additional information

With a traditional resume, you are recommended to keep it as brief and concise as possible. A web resume can augment your traditional resume, by allowing you to expand on the information found there. Some information you might want to include: samples of work you have done, testimonials, letters of recommendation, a list of professional development courses, conferences and workshops that you have attended. You can also include your traditional resume (e.g Word, PDF, text format) that recruiters can download and save for their records.

Have your website listed in our online directory

Include your name, city and field in our online directory, with a link to your resume website. This will make your site available to any potential employers or headhunters who visit our site, and can also help increase the ranking of your site in search engines. (This is optional - if you do not wish to actively publicize your site, do not include it in the directory.)

Even if you are not job hunting

Job hunting is not the only reason to maintain a current resume. For example, some professionals and freelancers may wish to provide information on their background to potential clients or business partners, and an online resume is a convenient way to do so.
