Sending clips along to employers with brief notes reminding employers of your interest will nudge them to take another look at your resume. It's a great keep your resume in front of employers.
Refresh. When a house is newly listed for sale, there's usually a flurry of activity. The open houses attract a lot of interest and many potential buyers walk through. But as time goes by, houses attract less and less interest. The same goes with resumes posted on job boards.
