ResumeBaking – Get to Work Getting Hired

Getting hired in this economy is a lot of work, but ResumeBaking is an online tool that can make the process a whole lot easier. With ResumeBaking, job seekers can create resumes from scratch, submit those resumes to employers via email, keep track of how many of those would-be employers are viewing their resumes online, and ultimately get hired for the gig of their dreams. ResumeBaking has a number of other useful features for job seekers, as well, such as job offer notifications, interview advice, and networking tools.

Most people looking for jobs aren’t in the position to be spending money in the process, which is why ResumeBaking is completely free for job seekers to use. Enter your email address, select a password, and get started building a resume that will get you noticed. ResumeBaking guides you step-by-step through the process, providing space to upload your educational background, work history, skills, interests, and reference information. You can also add custom sections to reflect your unique talents and show employers what makes you different from all the other applicants. When you’re done building your resume, continue on to the Settings & Templates section. There, you can select your profession – so ResumeBaking will know which types of job notifications to send your way – and choose whatever template style you think looks best. ResumeBaking will also provide you with a unique URL for your resume, which you can share with hiring managers, friends, and business associates online.

Once you’ve started distributing your resume, you’ll want to keep a close eye on the statistics that ResumeBaking makes available to users. Using these statistics, you can see how many times your resume has been viewed, downloaded, sent, and opened. You can also decide whether to keep your resume private or make it public, and read advice and tips from HR experts on the best ways to get hired in your field.
