The "bigger is better" mantra doesn't apply here. Yes, they receive hundreds of resumes a day to be sure, but all that means for you is that your resume will never really be looked at with any care, and your goals, interests, and whatnot will never be taken into account. I'll bet a computer program scans the resumes for key words and if yours comes up short it's automatically trashed. Keep in mind that the companies pay these people, not you. So if you're happy being plugged into a generic job without any real consideration for what you want, charge ahead. That is assuming you'll even get a job; odds are you'll send in your resume, apply for loads of jobs for which you're qualified, and never hear back on any of them. You'll probably never talk to a single human being. If you try to call and talk to a rep that places people in jobs, you'll get a snippy receptionist that'll tell you to submit your resume online and wait patiently for a job to come up, and no, you can't talk to anyone. Try a smaller company like Burnett, they'll have you email your resume to a sentient human being who will then have you come in for a face-to-face interview. You can then tell them exactly what you're looking for, and they'll go out and hunt for you. I call my headhunter weekly and she knows who I am when I call and cheerfully gives me updates. And (gasp!) I've been on actual interviews for actual jobs I'm interested in. The 5 minute sign-up process for Career Consultants is, sadly, 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Pros: Quick sign up process.
Cons: Rude/non-existent staff, website crashes quite a lot, don't hold your breath on getting a job.
