Yeah, mario_salman, nice politically correct answer, though I don't think it's true. Most employers call you in for interviews, and don't even have the common courtesy and decency or RESPECT for the candidates to give them an answer, either way. Yet, they want you to give them the utmost respect at all times in the process.
I think it depends on the organization, as far as the online resumes go. Some have their own site and they store them for a period of time - usually 6 months to 1 year. They review those first when they want to fill positions, so I'd get my resume on the company site before I do monster.com, etc. (Not saying don't do the job board, just saying don't forget about applying directly.)
When submitting your resume online, always, always use a key word summary in the resume. This will help employers find your resume online above all the other junk they get. Apply using a three tiered approach, as well: apply for jobs that are definitely beneath your experience, right at your level, and slightly above. You never know, especially with salary ranges being what they are, someone might take a chance on you to pay you less and save in benefits as they groom you into a position.
Good luck.

Most employers don't pay much attention to your resume no matter how you send it. When they find themselves looking for someone, they might pick it up and call you. Most realize that the resume has been trumped up, and will make a decision based on a personal interview.

I personally haven't had any luck submitting my resume' online. It's best to go to the actual company and fill out an application, or fax your resume to them.

I haven't had a lot of luck submitting resumes on-line. I prefer to fax them in. That way a real person is guaranteed to touch it, if only to remove it from the fax machine.

I think they do cause I'm looking for a job and there are responses.....definitely use monster.com but also use the sites like philly.com or workjersey.com........see what else is in your area. Because they have an online agent that finds jobs for you based on your resume and other input, then you decide whether or not you want to apply.

I have asked this question before. I have submitted so many applications online and nothing.
What gives? And some jobs do not require any experience....I'm stumped!

Depends on the compay. Several companies depend on thier own resume builder application to prescreen prospectives.

Yes we do. We pay monster.com, hotjobs, and other job websites to post our open jobs, so everytime someone submit his/her resume, they redirect it to our HR department. We do review them because human resources are the most important asset of any company. We are interested in getting talented people to work for us.
