After Posting

• After you have entered a your information,
  uploaded, cut and pasted, or built your résumé
  you may choose to keep it active or deactivate
  add, remove, and thoroughly edit resumes as
  needed.
• Managing your résumé properly will allow you to
  be on top of all the occurrences pertaining to
  your job search as well as, view how many
  employers are seeing your resume.
• One of the most important aspects of posting your
  résumé is making certain that your visibility is
  at the highest level on the job boards. In order
  to maintain a highly visible résumé, you must
  perform an update or refresh of your résumé on
  a regular basis. Our suggestion is that you run
  an update of your résumé weekly. As thousands of
  résumés are posted to the Internet each week,
  your goal will be to keep your résumé on the fast
  track of each site, increasing your chances of
  being seen by potential employers. Several of
  the sites have a refresh feature built into the
  site which, when selected, will automatically
  refresh your résumé on the job board. Other sites
  require you to update the résumé in order to
  accomplish the same task. This requires you to
  access your resume, then modify the text. One
  simple text change is all that is needed to
  signal the crawler that this is a new résumé.
  Our suggestion is a simple change such as
  removing or inserting your middle initial.
