A Better Way to Float Your Resume

摘要

When telecommunications manager Ross Quam decided last spring to leave the U.S. Marine Corps, he assumed his expertise in fiber-optics equipment would quickly score him a lucrative middle-management job. So while still on duty, Quam, 28, of San Diego, turned to the Internet, perusing listings at two large online job sites, Monster.com (www.mon-ster.com) and government-sponsored America's Job Bank (www.ajb.org). But he found no job that matched his specialized skills and experience running tricky multimillion-dollar switching systems. Worse, his resume postings drew only headhunters seeking to place him outside the fiber-optics field.
