The main goal of submitting articles online is to get known/found.

Article banks generally get lots of traffic and have good page ranks (search results are shown sorted by page rank/relevance).

So, if your goal is to have an employer find you, it’s a fine strategy. Notice if you have your own website, you could (and should) likewise post the articles there as well.

I doubt if an employer would find you in article directories and contact you – however – you could mention in your CV that you have x number of articles published on the net. Maybe you coud also do a personal blog which you could link your articles to – also to impress a prospectie emplyer – good luck

Yes definitely, it actually reflects your out of book knowledge and your interest. People who write actually read a lot and gather some information and create their own bouquet of thoughts in the form of article. I call these type of people as intellectuals.

It will definitely help you in you job as well as in interviews.

What do you mean by your resume ….Are you targeting specific employers…….What category do you submit your articles to…..

Profits are created from increased traffic and your optin list that you build from that traffic
