Six Easy Ways to Increase Traffic to Your Resume

#1 Take Advantage of Your E-mail Signature
Perhaps the most effective way to spread the word about your resume is to include your resume URL in the signature area of your e-mails. Not only will this tell your personal and professional network where to find your latest resume, you'll be able to see instantly who views it ;) Many of our users have been including their resume in their signatures with absolutely fantastic results.

You'll be building your professional network with each and every e-mail!

#2 Business Cards
We've had a number of users include their Emurse resume URL on their business cards with great success. I've recently started doing this on mine as well and have had a number of people specifically ask about it, which sparks the exact kind of conversation you'll want to have when trying to build your network.

Think of it like this -- if you're at a networking function and meet someone, it's a bit awkward to pull out your complete resume isn't it? Handing them a business card with your contact information and a small URL so they can access it without any trouble is a much easier and effective approach.

#3 Social Network Profile
If you want to build traffic to something online, it's all about "inbound links". The more places that link to your resume, the better. Take advantage of the ability to add links to your social network profiles. Not only will this improve your resume ranking on the major search engines, you'll be putting your resume in front of your own personal network. (Remember: Add us on Facebook!)

#4 Twitter
Everyone's favorite new conversation medium is a great place to attraction attention to your resume. Let people know where they can find your resume, when you've made a significant update, and when you're looking for a new job. Recruiting professionals are also starting to use twitter to help them find qualified individuals that may not turn up in their normal searches. Take advantage. (Remember: Add us on Twitter!)

#5 Comment on Blog Posts
Get involved in the conversations that are taking place online in your field. Most, if not all, comment sections allow you to leave a website URL when commenting. Not only will this help you bound inbound links to your resume, you'll also be building your reputation in the process. The more involved you are on industry specific sites and the more you comment, the more likely someone in a hiring position will come across your resume.

#6 Sky Writing
Imagine the impact showing people at that ad agency you applied to how much you think out of the box. Although, they may very well question your understanding of "ROI" ;)
