Fax Machines Proving More Successful to Job Hunters with JobsByFax

Job hunters across the U.S. are achieving greater success using fax machines to send their résumés than using the more standard newspaper and technology-driven searches.

Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) January 11, 2006
The growth of the Internet and the inevitable switch to applying for jobs online has not really changed the time and frustration involved in job hunting. However, a handful of resourceful job seekers like Judy Green are finding that fax machines are opening a whole new door with exciting results. These job hunters are marketing their skills by faxing résumés to employers with the service JobsByFax.

Instead of sending emails that often get deleted without ever being read, faxed résumés are finding their way into the hands of the highest-level decision makers. Judy Green from Tarpon Springs, Florida used the service in November and states, “I had a job interview today because my résumé had landed on the desk of the VP of Administration courtesy of JobsByFax.”

Apparently when applying online and using the newspaper, a job hunter’s résumé does not get the same attention as when faxed. Judy Green goes on to state, “When I checked my job search records, I found out that I had already applied for the same job twice. Once in response to an advertisement the company placed in the newspaper in September, and a second time in October in response to an advertisement they posted on an internet job board. But only when I faxed my resume using JobsByFax did I get noticed.”

Kimberly Slabotsky, a Customer Service Specialist at JobsByFax says Judy’s success is not unusual, “JobsByFax is an extremely successful service that provides job hunters a one-of-a-kind strategy for marketing their skills. By faxing their résumé directly to decision makers, their résumé ends up in the right hands. When e-mailing résumés, you are just one of many unopened emails that ultimately may never be read.”
