Special Internet Job Search Services

INTERNET RESEARCH: Be prepared for your interview! Gather all the information on the company so you will be ready for that all-important interview. Would you like their latest financial statements or current press releases? Do you need some competitive intelligence? How about the latest information on developing technologies or any other report subject? Let ProType do it for you. Using sophisticated search engines, we can search as deep as you like. In addition to interview preparation, we can also do job searches for you. Let us search the Web for openings that match your objectives. Simply tell us how many hours you would like us to spend at $48 per hour. The author’s personal time, consulting, and customized job search is billed at $96 per hour. Return to top

ASCII TEXT AND OTHER FILE CONVERSIONS: Before your résumé can be posted to the Internet or be sent by e-mail, it is much better if it is in ASCII text format so the information can be pasted directly into the e-mail message screen even when you are attaching a binary file to an e-mail message. For $12 per page, we can convert your MS Word or WordPerfect file (or any other format for that matter) to ASCII text and then format it so it looks as good as a text file. MS Word conversions are $12 per page and a PDF conversion can be done for you at no charge. Now you are ready for the Internet. Return to top

E-MAIL SERVICES: If you don’t have an e-mail address or don’t have access to the Internet, ProType can send and receive e-mail for you. We can even create a personalized e-mail address for you at no charge. The address can be anonymous (71311@thespringsmall.com) or your name (JohnDoe@thespringsmall.com). The e-mail address itself is free, but there is a $1.00 charge for each e-mail we receive for you and $4.00 for each e-mail sent. Return to top

RÉSUMÉ POSTING SERVICE: Having difficulty deciding where to post your résumé? Are you without Internet access? Or, is the technology Greek to you? Let ProType do it for you. From Pat’s research for her award-winning book with Barron’s, e-Résumés, she recommends that you first target specific companies. We can go to company Web sites and post your résumé directly into their résumés databases where your résumé is searched every time a job opening occurs for that company worldwide. Then, we recommend you post your résumé to some of the “Big Three” résumé databases. For most people, that is five or six sites. For only $12 per site (or $4.00 if it involves a simple e-mail or hourly if it requires an application), your résumé is searched hundreds, if not thousands, of times. That’s like mailing out hundreds or thousands of résumés! Then, there are more than 15,000 industry-specific or association sites that are smaller but could be more specific for your industry. Take your pick or stop with the “Big Three”. We will guarantee that your résumé will stay posted for at least 3 months. Before we can post your résumé, we will need to know your geographical preferences, job title and industry choices, and minimum salary requirements. Return to top

ANONYMOUS E-MAIL: We can manage your calls and e-mail without the risk of your present employer discovering your job search through our anonymous e-mail address for only $150 for three months. Here’s how it works. Once we create your ASCII text file (see above), we eliminate your name and replace it with the word Anonymous followed by a series of numbers that is your unique identifier. We replace your mailing address and phone number with ours. Then we add our anonymous e-mail address and remove your current employer information, replacing the company name with a more generic description and attempting to mask their identity as much as possible. We can post this anonymous résumé to the sites of your choice (see the preceding paragraph) and then we will receive all of your phone calls, e-mail messages, and postal service mailings. Included in the $150 are three months of answering services, screening of all received e-mails and letters, and the phone calls and faxes or postage to transfer the information to you (mailing costs are extra). Once the information is in your hands, it is up to you to follow up. If you find a job or wish to stop the service at any time, you are only responsible for the actual number of days of the service you used (with a minimum of $50). Return to top

SCANNABLE DOCUMENTS: The paper résumé or any other document we create for you can be made scannable at no extra charge at the time we first design it. Making a resume scannable after the fact is $48 per hour. Return to top
