Many employers have changed how they advertise for jobs with most of them advertising in online job boards. Would be job seekers who are looking for a position must now go online in order to search for available jobs.

As a job seeker, you can tailor each of your resumes to fit specific employers and what they are looking for in their job descriptions. If you have these skills you can showcase them in your resume and use specific keywords so potential employers can locate your resume online during their search. This makes the task of searching for a job a lot easier than using traditional methods.
