CareerSite
Anyone can post a resume on CareerSite, though it's probably worth becoming a member (free for now), giving you access to a "Virtual Agent." Your resume stays up for two months, and if you're a member then your resume is treated to a little fancy formatting.

The Computer Register
The Computer Register is a job and resume bank for computer-related jobs. There are currently only twenty resumes on file, with no formatting. But you never know -- throw caution to the wind and become number twenty-one. Maybe they'll give you a free T-shirt.

Direct Marketing World Job Center
Anyone can search for resumes by key words, for free, but it is unclear how many companies take advantage of this. It is not very exclusive, but will probably only take ten minutes to enter your resume.

E*span
E*Span is definitely worth checking out. It claims the largest circulation of any employment database in the world, and clients include Intel, Microsoft, MCI and many more.

Future Access
This site lets employers search resumes by the following industries: Biotech, Hardware Engineers, Sales and Marketing, Software Engineers and Miscellaneous. Future Access tells you about every company that looks at your resume -- this is the best indication of whether it's the site for you.

IntelliMatch Online Career Services
Intellimatch has some big client names -- Novell, Mitsubishi -- but companies pay $3,500 for the software to run the program, plus $200 per resume for contact information. If your resume shines, then this may be the site for you.

Internet Professional Association
Only members of the Internet Professional Association can look at your resume through this service. However, there are over 1,500 members, and each member is a recruiting organization. It's their job to look at resumes, so why not show them yours?

ITC Employment Agency
The ITC Employment Agency is specifically for the telecommunications industry. Employers can search by specific aspects of the industry, as well as advertising jobs on the service. The formatting is in a no-graphics, no-nonsense style, but there are enough jobs and resumes posted to lend the service some credibility.

JobTailor
Job Tailor gives you a password, which lets you update your resume any time, and gives you a degree of privacy -- employers can contact you through this account rather than directly to you. The site is polished and pretty, perhaps the results will be too.

MBA Association
The MBA Association seems to be more of a showcase than a search engine: there are currently only about fifty resumes on file, listed by name rather than key word. But the name of this site does suggest a certain degree of prestige, which may encourage prospective employers to check it out.

Medical and Scientific Employment
This is a professional, selective career service for the biotechnical and medical industries. If this is your field, then this is your site.

MedSearch America
If you're interested in any kind of employment in the health care industry, this site is for you. You can update at any time, and your resume will stay up for as long as you like.

Monster Board
Monster Board is one of the most well-known job banks on the Web, serving companies such as Hewlett Packard, Compaq and Motorola. Your resume stays up for a year, and you can update it as many times as you like.

National Technical Employment Services (NTES)
NTES is only for contract professionals in the technical services. The company was founded in 1983, and seems to know its stuff. You can leave your resume there for as long as you like, so if you're a contract technical professional, what are you waiting for?

Online Career Center
The Online Career Center is a huge database (over 25,000 resumes), available to any company on the Internet or America Online. You can update your resume whenever you like, and it stays up for 90 days.

On-Line Sports Career Center
The Online Sports Career Center is maintained by Sports Management Enterprises, a professional search firm for the Sporting Goods Industry. Sounds promising, but there are only 13 resumes in the resume bank. Their job bank may be a better bet, but there's no harm in letting Sports Management know you're out there.

Pursuit Net
Pursuit Net is for "professional, technical and management level individuals qualified to seek jobs in the $30,000 to $200,000 range," in their own words. Pursuit Net takes your resume and matches you to a job, and this service is free to those who meet the description.

Talent Hunter
It's a catchy title, but they really only want new talent in the computer graphics industry. But all you computer nerds, you'll be glad to know you can update your resume any time of the day or night. Go crazy.

Technology Registry
The Technology Registry is devoted exclusively to the technology industries. They do not accept resumes for entry-level positions however -- they require work experience (summer jobs don't count!).

Transaction Information Systems (TISNY World)
Funky graphics -- this is a good one. TISNY offers advice as well as a resume bank. Presentation is obviously a high priority to this service -- always a bonus when it's you they're presenting.

Trilogy Enterprises
Trilogy is an executive search service, so you'll only strike it lucky if what you offer matches what they want. They just deal in software an hardware-related jobs.

Virtual Job Fair Resume Center
The title's a little kooky and so is the tardis graphic, but they've already got 500 high-tech firms interested. It's still under construction, but you can submit your resume now. Stay away if "cyber" and "virtual" prefixes aren't your cup of tea.
