Subject:RE: How often is your resume read on job boards? From:"Sean Brierley" <sbri -at- haestad -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 19 Aug 2002 14:21:45 -0400
By my guestimate, before Nov 2001, about 3/ week. Contacts, less than
one per week, although three resulted in job offers. Since Nov 2001,
fewer than 1/week and no offers.

True enough.
Let me revise the question:
How many times per week does your resume get viewed on each job board,
and how many contacts do you get per week on each job board?
