Posting Resumes on Jobsites
Posting Resumes on Jobsites
(OP)
Is it wise to leave an engineering resume continually posted on major job boards like Monster and Careerbuilder, or should a person take copies down once they are actively employed? I ask because I wonder if current employers ever check those boards and wonder why my resume might still be out there. The main drawback I see to leaving it out there all the time is over-saturation, but taking it down could also result in missed opportunities. Any words of wisdom on this topic?

I didn't delete my profiles after getting the job, though I don't think I've had any more offers either!

IF your current employer sees it - they may not be too happy. If I found one of my employees up there - no more raises, no more bonuses no more levels of responsibility. I would figure they are not HAPPY and need to go - either on their time or mine!!
Maybe I am old fashioned and I am old (59) - but that is just the way I do business.

I tend to get more hits on a recently updated resume on Monster, than I get from Linkedin. However, the typical quality of a Monster/Careerbuilder/etc. contact tends to be less. I get a lot of spam that way.
I have mostly worked for large companies, so they don't seem to take it personally IF they've found my resume still out there later.
