Resume Blasting is one of several methods a job hunter can use to market their resume. Resume blasting is a fee-based service that allows the client to send their resume to many potential employers, and recruiters, at the same time. The idea behind resume blasting is this: More resumes will provide the client with a greater likelihood of receiving a response.
Since resume blasting may involve the distribution of a resume to hundreds of thousands of recipients, this approach is normally performed using an electronic resume that is sent through email. The concept is built upon a quantity over quality approach, and the job hunter should recognize the shortcomings of this tactic.
Resume blasting is the most aggressive approach to distributing a resume used today, especially when compared to the more targeted approach of using a resume distribution service. It is also a proactive approach, which pushes a resume to others. This is in contrast with the passive approach of resume posting. |
