But first, a shout out to Russ and Recruiting Animal who got me thinking about blogging on this topic. Ok, here it is: wP7v{6d(E0Pd U#C'I

q'|C`.?+cVY Many people create their resumes using Microsoft Word templates. Its right there on many people's computers, and it seems easier, particularly if they are not experienced resume writers. Only, get this - they forget to rename the document once they create it! Or maybe they just choose to leave it with the original name for some reason. Regardless of why this is, they save the document with a name just like that of the template.

Choose it, then look at the Other Documents category and see what those templates are called... yes, some of them are for resumes! And... the kicker is since people forget to change the names, you can find those exact file names online!

So, next time you are looking for resumes in your favorite search engine, instead of using the word resume consider using specific template names like:b:S8x#uQX
[color=Blue]"my resume"
.UsMnn afV5h[ "contemporary resume"
G"[
CU sDsH "elegant resume"
.`1Rhs.}"I Z#z "professional resume"
M.rt;Z(|d*eC Ez "chronological resume" #Al4PG[0f
"functional resume"[/color]Add those to your serch which should include a job title, skill, and possibly a location keyword, and you should see much more accurate results.
