Resume Faxing Service
James J Jones — Publisher

If you live near a college or university you’ll have plenty of prospects for this business. What you do is FAX resumes for job seeking college students to businesses looking for employees.

Here is how it works:

Get a copy of the Sunday newspaper for every large town or city within a hundred miles of where you live. Look in the Employment Classifieds and make a list of every company along with their fax numbers.

Divide your list into the appropriate categories such as:

• Computer Professionals
• Engineers
• Medical Professionals
• Accountants
• Banking
• etc.

Then advertise your service with flyers on college bulletin boards and ads in the college newspaper. In your ad you offer to fax the students resume to 30 or 40 companies who are looking for employees in their field. You can fax their resume to companies in only certain areas or, if location doesn’t matter to them, you can fax to companies all over the area.

The going rate for similar services is 75 cents to $1.00 for every fax sent. You could create package deals to send out, say, 40 faxes for 35 dollars. The great thing about this business is your costs are so low, most of the money you take in is pure profit. With only 10 clients you could be making $350 - $400 a week for just a few hours work.

Another idea would be to get a fax number compact disk and target companies in specific cities. That way, if you had, for example, a C programmer who wanted to work in Miami you could charge him $100 to send his resume to 100 computer consulting firms in the Miami area.

The possibilities for this type of business are endless.
