More people are browsing the job markets these days, which means you've got to have an attention-grabbing resume. Here are some programs that'll personalise your resume and cover letter, and get it to the people who need to read it.

Warning! Reading the newspaper's business section can be dangerous to your mental health. Every day brings with it more news of economic doldrums, layoffs, and a sleeping stock market.

If you're worried that you'll be the next victim of layoffs--or if you've already been hit--don't let yourself be victimised. Instead, go out and find your dream job. If you need help to do it, I've found three programs from ZDNet Downloads that will help you find the perfect job.

ResumeBooster
ResumeBooster offers resume and cover letter wizards which guide you in creating the most professional resume, no matter what job you are looking for! Submit your resume to over 3,500 employers and recruiters directly. (Send resume through SMTP or current e-mail programs outbox.) Pick from over 300 sample resumes and cover letters for you to work from. Easily create and submit your resume! (Resume can also convert to MSWord/HTML file.)

Upseek Job Search
Upseek Job Search allows Palm VII(tm) Series and Kyocera 6035 Smartphone users the ability to simultaneously search and aggregate job openings from top career and corporate sites from one location, anywhere you take your handheld. Specify your keywords, select how many results per site and you are done. Results that match your criteria can then be e-mailed right from your handheld for further processing.

Resume Blowout

Save and print your resume, have it emailed to employers, and get the job you want! Software also includes the ability to export resume to HTML or MSWord format.

Don't let yourself be a victim of the dot-bomb phenomenon--use these downloads to take control of your life and get the best job possible.
