What on earth is a distribution service and why on earth would anyone want to use one? Besides, if you want something distributed, you can just pull up your boot straps, head out and do it yourself.
A Better Way to Go The truth of the matter is that no matter what it is you need distributed, a distribution service can do a better job.
They can target more and better recipients of what ever it is that you are distributing and do it far more cheaply as well.
Also, they have reams of market research at the ready to access to help in better targeting who ever is going to receive what they are distributing.

So, why would someone choose to use a resume' distribution service in these hard economic times? In short, the answer to that question is to help you find a job! Well hey! Why not distribute your resumes yourself and save a few dollars? Help When You Need it Of course you can do that but while you are busy saving a few dollars, the guy that used the resume' distribution service will be heading off to work at his new job.
