In-Depth Review | Resume Rabbit.com
Views and Opinions
by David Alan Carter
500,000. That's the number of happy customers ResumeRabbit.com claims to have helped find a job.
Online since 1999 they are the oldest and largest online resume posting service, having performed over 5 million
resume submissions to all the online job banks and job search engines.
Here's How It Works
Sign up with the Rabbit and pay the one-time fee (currently $59.95). Complete one short form and the
company goes to work... completing registration forms and posting your resume and job requirements
on up to 93 different career sites. The exact number will depend upon the categories you select.
Within an hour of sign-up, postings will begin. 72 hours later, most jobs are finished. You can track the
progress of the postings on a Real-Time Posting Report accessed via your secure, password-protected Resume
Promotion Service Center.
Having viewed your resume and related information on any given career site, individual employers and recruiters
will contact you directly if interested.
Here's What We Liked
-
Time saver. That's the crux of it: the Rabbit saves the job seeker literally days of
toiling over the computer; researching and identifying the multitude of relevant career sites, then filling
out registration forms and downloading or mailing resumes one at a time.
- They'll show you a list of both general and specialty job site right up front on their
website--before you pay a dime.
- These are serious job sites. Among the 85 sites in their directory are the likes of Monster.com,
HotJobs, Career Builder, Dice and more.
- You decide whether to have your information submitted to a wide range of job sites, or take a more
targeted, selective approach.
- Your current boss doesn't have to find out you're looking for better job. Simply select "Post My
Resume Confidentially" during the registration process.
- The BBB (Better Business Bureau) currently gives the company an "A" rating. Read the BBB review HERE.
Here's What We Didn't Like
Despite the "A" rating with the BBB, there are a number of customer complaints on the site that are worth noting
(specifically, 18 complaints closed within the past 3 years). Most fall under the categories "Problems
with Product/Service" with customers expressing irritation with excessive email and difficulty communicating with
the company to redress complaints. That said, the company's response to, and resolution of, those complaints helped
contribute to the higher score.
Resume Rabbit Review - The Wrap Up
To sum it up, time really is money. If you're between jobs, you know the clock is ticking and time is
of the essence in landing interviews that will lead to offers. ResumeRabbit.com saves you a goodly amount of that
precious time. If you're still employed, ask yourself where you're going to find the time to slog the
estimated 60+ hours to get your resume 'out there' in these kind of numbers. Now, $59.95 is not chump change. I
know that. And yes each of us could slog those 60 hours ourselves and get the job done. But then,
that puts our value at $1.00 an hour.
If your time is worth more than that, consider the Rabbit an investment in a potentially brighter
future. As with all of our reviews, this is our opinion--we always advise readers to do their own due
diligence.
