If you're posting on a job board, investigate the site and see what they have to offer. Hotjobs.com allows you to post up to 10 different resumes while Monster.com offers a specialized diversity and inclusion job search feature.
5.) Use any means necessary.
Experts agree networking is still the number one way to gain employment. Network your way into a company and cultivate a contact that will be receptive to receiving your resume and will pass it on to the right person.
