Web Based Resume Center Celebrates 5th Anniversary With 2.5 Million Visitors
According to the founder (Roger Clark BSc) of the online resume resource http://www.rogers-resume-help-center.com, they average 37,154 unique visitors a month. Roger tells how this was achieved against tough competition from established sites in this market.
Roger believes the exceptional growth and popularity of the site down to the fact that it provides visitors with data specific to the jobs they are applying for. At a very early stage I realized that simply providing generic information was just not good enough.
As an example, someone looking for a position as a bank teller would ideally want information specifically about banking jobs and the banking industry. To cater for this we created 3 modules with job specific information as follows:
Career Choices for Banking Jobs
- Overview of Jobs
- Prospects for Career Advancement
- Informal Job Description
- Guide to Job Search
- Cover Letters
- Resumes
- Qualifications
One of the uniquefeatures of our examples of resumes and cover letters is that we analyze them in great detail and explain exactly how each section works. This understanding aids the job-seeker to apply the techniques to their own specific circumstances.
Most job-seekers find the site by searching Google for specific job related resume terms such as:
- career prospects in banking industry
- example bank teller resume
- example bank teller cover letter
Although these are all highly competitive search terms, we regularly hold top positions on the first page of Google search results. This is something that we are very proud of, said Roger.
Roger says that visitors coming to the site like the fact that all the content is free for their own personal use and relevant to their personal needs. The fact that over 3,000 job-seekers a month are returning visitors, confirms the belief that they find the site helpful.
It was a big challenge to produce such a vast quantity of unique quality data. The results achieved have more than justified the effort, but there is still much more that we can do to help job-seekers visiting our site.
