Q: I submitted my resume on your site. How long until I hear from someone?
A: In the event you replied to a specific opening posted on the AP site, you can expect an e response within 48 hours.  If you are applying generically, AP’s ‘perfect fit process’ will keep you apprised of any current openings either by phone or e-mail.

Q: What is the best format for an online resume?
A: A chronological resume typically fits most recruiter’s needs, starting with objective, education, and a chronological career history.

Q: Do you recommend more than one format?
A: Yes.  The four basic formats are: chronological, functional [a summary of all your key strengths with career history at the end], fundamental [a very generic version], and AP’s version of “you want, I have” style.


Q: How many job boards should I post to?
A: What’s more important is knowing your audience and what boards work for what openings.  In addition, a resume full of key words works for today’s recruiter's data banks.

Q: Do you recommend posting on job boards and exposing my confidential search?
A: We always caution posting on job boards. Even if you leave off name and contact numbers including your current employer, most astute employers can still figure out it’s you.
