In your corner: Another computer job matchmaking service has entered the ring, and means one of the industry’s major players is in your corner. Because the service is free – for now.
The popular job-search engine Indeed.com is now doubling as a resume search service, thereby aiding both employers and job hunters to find each other. Everybody wins!
This is a nice gift to America’s more than 15 million unemployed and the countless underemployed out there.
Sadly, Indeed.com execs say a pay-to-play plan is in the works, so get out there before the paywall knocks you out of one of the biggest rings going in the current marketplace.
For those still on the job and watching their back, Indeed.com officials say you can keep your resume private to help shield your job search from your current employer. Those guys can get a bit grumpy about workers wanting to jump ship.
It also promises to simplify seeking jobs on Indeed by using resumes, according to company officials, “We always start with the question: ‘What is best for the job seeker?’”
Wow! An executive who puts customer service first! Yeah, that’s snarky, but fair to say, because too often the vital task of finding the workers needed to turn the gears of American capitalism has been left to the IT engineers. The result: too many computerized job search systems nearly impossible to navigate.
That’s good news for job seekers. So good luck on the job!
