The last 24 hours we have been working on the Resumebucket database, and functionality. We are now fully back online, and all resumes that were active on the system are now viewable.

In addition, we are looking for consumers who have successfully recieved a job from our site, and also testimonials from employers and recruiters who are using our system.

Don’t forget you can view Sample Resumes, Search Resumes, and find a job

Thanks,

ResumeBucket Team

As we continue to improve user experience and functionality on the site, at times our system may experience a hick-up. Hence, you may have already noticed, we’re under maintenance within the resume pages. We’re currently resolving some back-end issues which came up and are working diligently to get all of our members’ resumes back online and searchable. In the meantime, you can still search jobs and colleges to help advance your career goals.

We will keep all of our users posted on progress, but to help minimize the number of alert-emails you receive, all further updates on the situation can be viewed on our Blog Page at www.resumebucketblog.com.

We appreciate your patience with this matter and should be back up online, as soon as possible. Feel free to contact us with your thoughts and questions. Happy Friday & have a great weekend.

Yours,

In the era of the Internet, don’t be too fast to dismiss social networking websites as “places to post pictures of the weekend.” In fact many social websites can be helpful in getting a potential job seekers name out in the open.

Recently many have been turning to major social media outlets to get their name in the open in order to meet potential connections in their respective industry. For example jakeonjobs outlines two major websites, Linked In and Twitter:

“Linked In – A professional site for reaching out. This IS a site for connecting clients and colleagues with one another. This IS NOT a site for posting pictures from the weekend.”

“Twitter – A Site for Piquing Interest. This IS a site for letting others know what you are doing, reading, creating, working on, or thinking about at any given moment. That’s it.”

Twitter is the simplest to use out of all the social media websites because the interface is very user friendly, and there is little effort required to set it up as compared to other social sites that require a plethora of personal information and time to begin. A useful starting guide for Twitter can be found at administrativehearts which says:

“Twitter can also be an awesome networking tool. Once you join, be sure and fill out your profile and bio, and then start looking for people to follow. I recommend twellow.com for finding people to follow. Follow people in your locality, in your industry, who have similar hobbies and beliefs, whatever you enjoy. And then start interacting. Reply to what others say, share what you’re reading on the web, get to know people. And here and there, maybe once a day, mention that you’re looking for work. Link your resume. You’d be surprised how far things can get retweeted.”

For those that are looking to start a Linkedin profile or already have one, a list of useful groups to join can be found at spinstrategy.

The Career Group Library goes a bit more in depth with Twitter by showcasing some great people to ‘follow’ on the website for those interested in job openings, career news articles, and events:

“JobOnline – the latest graduate vacancies. The Careers Group – updated with careers news articles, new resources, upcoming events. The Guardian London Graduate Fair – new exhibitors and general build-up to the big day.”

Of course you can always follow ResumeBucket for the latest and greatest in ways to promote yourself online and get the job you’ve always dreamed of! ☺
