Maximizing Posts to a Niche Job Board

By: Ivan C
 

When you are writing your first draft of a resume you are most likely thinking in terms of using just one version of your resume for all niche job boards that you want to post to. But, you should think about carefully about targeting your resume for keywords on the niche job boards that you are posting to and using multiple iterations of the resume to use a larger amount of keywords. You don't need to change your personal or core content but you should think about using descriptive terms that fit the niche job board and/or position you are seeking with alternative resumes.

In many cases, when posting your resume on a niche job board you may be asked if you want to post an additional iteration of your resume. Many people will not take advantage of this, which is a mistake. The hiring manager is typically searching for a candidate using a specific set of keywords that matches a job – if you incorporate multiple resumes you can incorporate a broader set of keywords – ensuring that your resume will be pulled up via a search, when the hiring manager uses a matching set of keywords.

You may also find multiple jobs when doing a search on a niche job board that you are interested in and well qualified for, but your resume may not be a good match for the job description. If you incorporate multiple resumes in your marketing campaign you can target each one for a specific job opening and make your overall search process much less time consuming and more effective.

But you don't want to utilize a resume that portrays your experience inaccurately or mislead hiring managers. However, emphasizing certain aspects of your skill set in one resume versus another can again expose you to more positions – as an example, using business development versus sales manager in your objective description will give you a broader reach when hiring managers incorporate both or either of these terms in their search process via the niche job board.

Think like an online marketer – the broader your reach the more exposure you will have to hiring managers and recruiters.
