There was a time when applying for a job was not as convenient as it is now.
It used to be that applicants would print many copies of their resume. And then they would go to Makati or Ortigas to submit them to as many business establishments they could cover in one day.
Sometimes you could have an interview and a test on the same day but most of the time your resume just end up with the guard. Then they just call you if they think you are qualified.
Nowadays we have Online Resume Databases like JobsDB, JobStreet, Workabroad.ph, and of course our database http://jobsopen.rrjm.com or http://apply.rrjm.com.
You can still do it the old way or you can just submit your resume to as many online resume databases as you can.
The advantage of this method is that, it is very convenient. You save time and money because you won’t have to commute. And it is also very accessible. Most homes nowadays have Internet connection. If you don’t have one, Internet Cafe’s are usually just a few blocks away. You can even submit your resume using your smartphone. That is if you don’t mind the small screen.
When you are looking for a job, you often wish you have an insider information about the possible job openings in a company. Most of the time you won’t know because companies don’t often publish all their job needs. If they do publish, a hundred applicant have already beaten you to a job.
Submitting your resume to an online resume database is like having an insider information because as soon as companies have a need, they first look in their own resume database.
