Many companies and recruiters use Google (and other major search engines) to fill their positions. If you are a job seeker, you can use the same techniques that talent seekers use to turn up free resume examples. You can also benefit from this knowledge in shaping your own web resume for hirers to find.

Here’s a few tips and tricks for turning up the best resumes on the worlds largest search engine!

Searching for Free Resume Templates and Examples

Search with “intitle:resume” and only pages with the word Resume in the page title will be included. You can also try “inurl:resume” for sites that have resume in the URL. If you know of a specific resume website, let’s say, Emurse (ahem), you can even append “site:emurse.com” to your search to only include results from Emurse.

Now let’s say you’re looking for a sales guru. You can append the word “sales” to the query. If certain terms are more important to you than others, you can use the + sign in front of a term to add weight, or a - sign to decrease weight. You can also use a ~ before a term to include known synonyms.
