Q:  Why is your site different from other employment sites?

A:  AtomicResume.com is very unique compared to other services on the internet. Most Employment sites place your resume in a database. The recruiters then have to search the database for key words that will bring up your resume. Then they have to decide to read your resume from among all the others that were returned in their search (there are usually a lot, and recruiters can't read them all). Our service delivers your resume directly to each recruiter's e-mail. It requires no additional work from the recruiter, and is already "qualified" based on the geographic locations and fields of employment that each particular recruiter specializes in.

Q:  Why isn't this service Free?

A:  AtomicResume.com sends your resume and profile information, pre-qualified, directly to the e-mail of 1,000's of recruiters, saving YOU and the RECRUITERS time and money! Realizing that the best jobs aren't available on Employment websites, and that most of them aren't publicly released EXCEPT to recruiters, the real value of our service is in our ability to get your information in front of the "Gate-Keepers" of these hidden job openings. Our service is a bargain when you consider how much time you'd spend finding these agencies, the cost of postage, faxing, paper, ink, envelopes and phone calls. We strive to keep our fees at a minimum!

Q:  What results can I expect?

A:  Results will vary, and depend mainly on your work history, education, salary, and geographic requirements. Recruiters typically respond immediately to resumes that appear to match a current open position that they represent. Resumes that don't match current searches are usually placed in a candidate database for future job opportunities. Most recruiters work up to 10 open positions at a time. If your resume is sent to 1,000 recruiters, you are potentially considered for up to 10,000 jobs.

Q:  I just graduated. Do you have recruiters who work with people like me?

A:  YES, many recruiters work with new graduates, especially newly graduated MBA's. Your results may not be as good as Job Seekers with work experience. If your degree is in a high demand industry, a lack of experience will not exclude you from consideration, in most cases.

Q:  Do I need to submit a cover letter with my resume?

Q:  Do you accept resumes in MS Word Format or do you require text only format?

A:  Your resume can only be sent in plain text format. You must copy and paste your resume text into the provided field on our profile form. Many employers and recruiters do not accept attachments due to the large file size and also due to the fact that attachments are the main method used to transmit viruses. Recruiters do not all use the same software, and many could not read your resume and profile if sent in a format other than plain text.

Q:  Why do I receive undeliverable e-mail messages from my resume distribution?

A:  We make every possible effort to keep our recruiter information current. We can have returns for various other reasons that are beyond our control, such as ISP problems, servers down, full e-mail boxes, and so on. We work hard to keep all delivery problems at a minimum.
