Shopping Your Resume

Be careful of companies that promise to get your resume into the hands of hundreds or thousands of recruiters.  During my professional career in a Fortune 500 company, I have watched thousands of resumes not even be looked at because they were submitted by one of these broadcast methods.  They come across the recruiters desk as junk email, or fax machine as trash. 

The best way to shop a resume is to put it in the hands of a trusted friend or associate with access in a targeted company.  This is how most positions are filled.
