How to Get a Bigger Bang from Monster
If you've received poor response from your online career site submissions, it may be due to the way you registered. You can change that by using specific, pre-selected keywords. Today we're going to build a more effective online profile that will draw more responses from Monster® and other online sites.
So, let's get started.
Once you register on Monster®, choose: "Build Your Resume Online".
They allow you to set up 5 different resumes or profiles. Let's just set one up for now. There are only 5 major areas that we will be concerned with here:
1. Target Job Title
2. Objective
3. Resume Title
4. Job Title
5. Work Experience
Tip: every one of these fields has keyword capability, so you must use each of these areas to the fullest extent by including as many keywords as are relevant, for example:
1. Target Job Title: 2,880 character limit. That's almost 4/5's of a page, if you were to fill it up! List as many different job titles as you can imagine for this role. List other closely allied titles that the searcher may be searching on. For instance, "Java Programmer" might also be titled as "Software Engineer", "Application Developer", or "Software Developer" within even the same corporation, not to mention other companies. How many different but similar titles can you come up with? Put them all here.
2. Objective: This is your stated job goal and has a 2,000 character limit. Just as we talked about in yesterday's lesson, transfer that keyword-rich objective from your revised resume to here. You should have a decent short paragraph that showcases and combines your current skills and your future goals. Remember, you want to stay away from standard cliches such as "Challenging opportunity as a (title) where I can effectively use my (managing and sales, etc.) skills in my ongoing effort to help grow an organization, blah, blah…" This is not only boring, it's also highly ineffective. Instead try something like: "Solid Java Developer with strong (skill#1), (skill#2), and (skill#3) to make major programming contributions to remote server projects while growing to project lead role. The difference is each of the above underlined terms is now searchable. Use each section in your resume to answer one question only. By putting several keyword phrases under each section, you tighten up your focus and make your profile work for you by getting search engine hits when employers run database searches.
3. Resume Title: Not much to work with here as only 70 characters are allowed. Make it a key term that is most relevant and searchable.
4. Job Title: This (these) is (are) your current and past job titles and has a 5,831 character limit. That's 1&1/2 pages!! Put as many relevant titles as you can think of here that you have held in your past work progression. There is a huge amount of space here, so you may want to include specific job skill-sets that each of those titles required. Don't be bashful.
5. Work Experience: 3,000 character limit. Here is where you make sure to include every relevant skill-set that you possess. Keep to the bare facts. Almost every word you put here should be a searchable term. You want them to find you and here is your catch-all chance to do it. Also, many employers are looking for people who have or are working for certain companies or organizations. Make sure that you list any major corporation that you have not only worked for but also have done business with as a client. These are also keywords employers are searching for.
Summary Don't rush this process. The online resume-builder will act as both a resume and as a screening tool. This will gain you the edge as a screen-in tool rather that a screen-out tool.
Your objective is the same in all these online resume-posting sites. Make it keyword-rich and you will definitely get more hits. More hits will generate more calls.

7 Good Reasons Why One Network Marketing System Is What You Need
I have been using the Internet to get traffic for my website for over four years now. Things change very fast and new traffic tools popup like popcorn. They can all be a huge waste of time for anyone. It is not wise to purchase the latest traffic tool or search the Internet for new traffic tools... Let me tell you why.
Here are 7 reasons why you should start a network marketing system. A network
marketing system is just one system that consists of many traffic tools.
1. Many new traffic tools that popup are all very similar. The tools or system they use is similar to the others same way popcorn is. The sales pages are different, the owners are not the same but the so called new traffic tool is nothing new in most cases.
2. If you don't have one network marketing system, you get frustrated. Ordering four traffic tools won't drive any traffic to your site. Use at least one of them to its full potential. For example you buy a classified blaster; you are not using it well if you don't track your ads, clicks and traffic. Neither if you don't learn copywriting. So if you order also a message board blaster, it is useless without even using the classified blaster well.
3. Learn all you can about the traffic tool you ordered. Don't buy anything else before you do so. Even banner advertising, FFA's and safelists are still very effective methods to get huge amount of traffic. You need to use them the right way. You won't use FFA's anymore because you think they are useless. Posting your link on 1000's of them is really useless.
But owing just two FFA's is completely different and the opposite. Notice I said owing not posting. Owing an FFA costs no more than 10 dollars a month. Again you must use your FFA to its full potential before looking at something new.
4. The Internet is like a magazine, but very huge. The ads are not only on inside the pages. They are everywhere, and even popup where you don't expect them. To compare the Internet with a magazine, imagine you hold the Internet on your hands. You cannot close it and place it on a shelf. Many ads will popup in front of you even though you close it.
That means you should stay focused on your goals. Don't let the advertisements of new products distract you. You must have one network marketing system. You build that buy using one tool to its full potential before adding another to the network.
5. Copywriting is a skill you need to learn. You don't become a copywriter overnight but its the skill you can learn even if you cannot write an article. Many marketing tools you can add to your network marketing system require the use of ads, headlines and sales messages. You need to discover which ads attract people. There are many tracking tools to test your ads.
This is the one skill you need if you are writing any sort of ads. This skill and the tracking tools will help drive 10 times more traffic then before.
Learn that skill if you write ads, don't waste money trying to find a system that will guarantee you instant traffic.
6. Use articles to learn, they provide free valuable information. Knowledge is king. Don't wait to see the next best thing to buy it. If you already have traffic tools learn how to use those 110% well. Even a simple message board blaster can drive 10 times more traffic if you test your ads. Use the
free information to learn and become expert in your field of internet marketing. Experts don't buy all the new products; they create the products themselves because they are experienced and have value to offer.
7. If you think you will change your life with the new traffic tool you just ordered then you may be completely wrong. The network marketing system you need won't consist of only tools. You have to actually use and learn to how to use the tools. You will fall prey to the new tools that will appear, and
might promise even better results... Stick with what you know now, cause new products popup anytime, every week.
The network marketing system is a complete set of traffic tools you know how to use. You cannot learn more than one thing at a time. Each tool needs to be used to its full potential or you waste time, money and fall prey to better promises by new tools.
