Professional Quality Resume Without the Cost
On average, employers spend less than 30 seconds
scanning a resume. To stand out from the crowd you need a good looking,
professional quality resume. However spending hundreds of dollars on a
resume writer is not always affordable.

Schwarzenegger of resume-writing software," now has a simple online

Recruiters and Head Hunters
When looking for a CAD job, you may want to consider working with a
recruiter. Recruiters, otherwise known as head hunters or search
consultants, are hired by companies to find candidates for them, and
often know about unadvertised jobs.
It's important to note, that recruiters do not charge the job seeker.
The company pays a fee, typically when a candidate is hired. When
contacting a recruiter send a resume and cover letter just as though you
were applying for a job. If a recruiter calls you, always call back -
even if you are not currently job hunting. You never know when
circumstances might change and you might need job search assistance.
If you don't know of any good recruiters and/or want to instantly have
your resume sent to 1000's of recruiters that specialize in people with
your skills, one service Resume
Mailman can instantly email your resume to to 1000's of targeted recruiters. You
can even get a list of the recruiters they forwarded your resume to for
follow up.
