[QUOTE="gleem, post: 6049343, member: 298988"] I'm sure you must be aware of online services like Monster.com or Indeed.com where you can post your resume. Major companies probably do not use these services since they get tons of applications. More and more people are qualified for specific jobs making it harder to choose among the applicants so they default to minor distinctions (biases perhaps) to make a choice. Many are now using software to prescreen applicants resumes to reduce the burden on human resource personnel looking for key words for example relevant to specific jobs or just sizing up the quality of the presentation of a resume e.g. spelling or grammatical errors. Except for small companies it it hard to think that even an inside contact (unless it is high up in influence) will have must pull these days. I don't think Twitter would be a good medium for networking it is too social. LinkedIn is designed to help professionals network. I've always been advised that it is impotrant to indicate a desire to work for a given company a first step in establishing loyalty. Throwing your resume out in a generic pile doesn't convey that idea. [/QUOTE]
