If I post today that I am interested in a certain kind of job, say barrister,
and on a different board say I am passionate about baking donuts, can the two personnel departments discover the other resume?
If the answer is “it depends on which board”, please specify which board is searchable and which isn’t.
Google does different types of searches. The more popular the site the more they update it. Also it depends on how often the “goole spider” thinks the information on the site change. Yes resumes are searchable. The problem is some sites limit how much google can search on their site.
For instance if you own a site, you can tell Google or Yahoo or Msn to only search part of that site.
The best way to find out is simply find out when the site was last cached, then search for someone’s resume. Again this isn’t 100% because Google doesn’t always search each site all the way through. The more popular the site the deeper into the web page Google searches
How would I know who’s resume to search for?
I guess you forgot that us Guests cannot search to find where our questions went to. Can’t even see my own profile.
xash -
So anyway, now that you found it for me, do you know the answer?
Cartigan seems to think I have my own hiring forum and want Google to list it.
What I want to know is how vulnerable my resume is on Monster, Careerbuilder, etc.
The last thing I need is to apply for a whim job using my hobby and have people pulling it up years from now when I’m applying for different work entirely.
Somebody must know the answer. I can’t be the first person to wonder about it.
I own and operate several sites on the internet and getting and keeping them Google listed is very important to me.
Its not easy to get listed in Googles first 20 results and even harder to maintain that listing. Most people rarely view past the first 20. Fewer still past the first 100 results.
Although Google will not, for obvious reasons, give the specifics of their algorithms they do give the basics here.
If your worried about a page coming up some time in the future its unlikely to happen unless you spend allot of time and effort to build and maintain your Google ranking.
The one exception may be if your page is about something extremely unusual. In that case there may be so few pages out there on that subject matter that it would be considered by Google to be of high relevance to the search terms given. Its hard to think of a real life example of this however.
I don’t think any of the resume posting sites are treated any differently than any other internet sites so all this should apply to your question.
In the end you have little to worry about when it comes to a page coming up in a Google search unless you have spent a long time building its relevance through careful link exchanges and constant updates.
Note: I spend 5 to 8 hours a week just on keeping my sites listings in the top 20 Google results for just three key words relevant to my business.
The link provided is a bad link, anyhow…
Sorry, I forgot the quote within my quote won’t show. Here is the bad link to which I refer.
Ok, third time is the charm! :rolleyes:
Please do not post the same question twice:
