Control your own job search-It's an investment in your career!

I just stumbled upon this article that talked about entrepreneurs making a quick buck off of job seekers. Should you be wary of resume blasters?
Maybe.  


"The Journal names three different services, MyJobHunter.com, JobConcierge.com and JobSerf.com.  For fees ranging from $10 to $98 a week, the companies answer ads as soon as they appear on the web, firing off résumés based on key words and parameters the job seeker provides. But the job hunter clients get no notice of where they are applying. Sometimes they receive calls from potential employers they’ve never heard of.  In other words, they’re paying a service to send out spam on their behalf."

If you want to learn how to control your job search, including how to get your resume in front of the decision maker without the hassle of going through the gate keepers, then let me suggest that you Google search and find a contingent recruiter or an employment counselor that specializes in your field and go from there. Resume blasters are not as effective as doing a little research on the company your applying for and networking your way to the decision maker.
