There are some advantages to creating a profile and posting your
resume on
BlockIslandJobs.com and I have some recommended
safeguards.
First the advantages:
1. Employers can search for and view your profile and resume.
2. You might get an interview that might result in a new job on
Block Island.
3. You can attach your stored resume when applying to jobs.
4. You can manage the information by editing it so it’s always
fresh.
5. You can hide it if you’ve just gotten a job and reactivate it if
you are out job hunting again.
6. Even if you are reasonably happily employed, an employer may run
across it and possibly offer you the job of a lifetime.
7. You can blog about your job search, post your favorite Block
Island pictures, add your twitter feed, etc.
8. You will get emails everytime a new job is added to
BlockIslandJobs.com.
Safeguards:
1. Don’t put your address on your profile. However, do indicate
your city and state (or country if applicable).
2. Note: You should have your name on the resume. If you’re really
paranoid, maybe just your first name or just your last name. I
recommend both. It adds a level of confidence for the Block Island
business owner or manager.
3. I think you can bypass putting your home phone number in the
resume. Just remember to check your email frequently. Employers are
typically in a hurry when the have a job open up. They may not be
able to wait several days for your responses.
4. When responding directly to a job posting, I recommend including
your phone number. and full name.
So, what are you waiting for?
