Getting to the Top of an Internet Search -- "Now job seekers and other individuals are being offered similar ways to raise their Web profiles — for a fee. At least two online career services, for example, now offer job candidates some sort of listing enhancement. ... Kristin Hunavy, whose résumé came up first in a list of 2,348 search results for a systems administrator in the New York area, said she had paid $40 for a Careerbuilder upgrade because she had been getting no responses from employers." (MadMan comments: I think job sites are a complete waste of time compared to proper networking. Tell me about your experiences with job sites.)

With all due respect to those who have, I personally think that by the time you even submit your resume to one of these services, you've lost the game.

If you think your resume is somehow going to leap out from the towering stack...well, let's just say I don't think it happens often.

Use your personal networks! Use 'em! They've never yet failed me.
