or 3: the FREE option, again full access to your details; but at a connection cost for this. ( access is unlimited )


this is a summary of the persons work experience, to keep the resume to the point for the employers who search our system,.. with a keyword function as one of the fields

the database is open to the public,.. with a total of 15 fields, a searcher has at his/ her disposal.
( this is how your resume obtains the greatest possible exposure, by having the database accessible to ALL. )

sounds good, put your details on for free,..unlimited access to this resume or resume/s,..well

here is the downside to this free resume listing,..
employers who have placed a job ad/s with seek,.. can purchase, at a price of between $50 - $70,... access to the resume database,..but, their access is restricted to only the relevant section their ad was placed in.

( example:- they put an ad in in the accountant section,..then their access will only be within that area,.. not the whole database. )

monster.com

unknown

you need to create a my monster account first.

the duration of the resume listing is unclear, and the size permitted is also unclear,.. but from other information, these may be both unlimited.

this sounds fantastic, that you could alter your resume as many times as you like, or make your resume into a small novel in size. ( what employer has the time to read such a resume, of a person, who may be constantly altering the facts around !! )

another thing, your resume is only accessible to, employers who purchase a search package,.. based upon distance,.. read in the ( search resume databases section )
( and this isn't cheap )
