Why Join

There are some advantages to creating a profile and posting your resume on NantucketWorks.com and I have some recommended safeguards.

First the advantages:
1. Employers can search for and view your profile and resume.
2. You might get an interview that might result in a new job on Nantucket.
3. You can attach your stored resume when applying to jobs.
4. You can manage the information by editing it so it’s always fresh.
5. You can hide it if you’ve just gotten a job and reactivate it if you are out job hunting again.
6. Even if you are reasonably happily employed, an employer may run across it and possibly offer you the job of a lifetime.
7. You can blog about your job search, post your favorite Nantucket pictures, add your Twitter feed, Facebook, etc.
8. You will get emails everytime a new job is added to NantucketWorks.com.

Safeguards:
1. Don’t put your address on your profile. However, do indicate your city and state (or country if applicable).
2. Note: You should have your name on the resume. If you’re really paranoid, maybe just your first name or just your last name. I recommend both. It adds a level of confidence for the Nantucket business owner or manager.
3. I think you can bypass putting your home phone number in the resume. Just remember to check your email frequently. Employers are typically in a hurry when the have a job open up. They may not be able to wait several days for your responses.
4. When responding directly to a job posting, I recommend including your phone number. and full name.
