There are four types of resume websites:

• Individual company websites (e.g., Kaiser Permanente’s recruitment page)
• Niche websites, which specialize in targeted markets such as geographic (e.g., bayareacareers.com), profession (e.g., bankjobs.com), or industry (e.g., dice.com)
• Recruiting websites that are open to the public but also serve the recruiting function for companies (e.g., accolo.com)
• Large public resume banks (e.g., CareerBuilder)

Knowing how these resume banks work and how to successfully deposit your resume into them can greatly expedite your job search.
