It has changed. It used to be that you looked in the paper, matched

potential prospects

typed a letter, added a pre-printed resume, stuffed an envelope slapped on a

stamp

and prayed that the US postal service would deliver it to the correct

address.


Now all anyone has to do is have their resume information as a great big

text field.

Recruiters use software to search for potential prospects for you. I've had

recruiters

call me the very same day I applied for a position.

I think you are looking too hard. Let someone else do the looking for you.

These recruiters get

a handsome percentage for each position they fill. In the IT field it comes

out to about 25k-35k per

head they place. If indeed you are qualified for one of these lucrative

positions, you will be turning away headhunters everyday.
