What do people typically include in the "message box" when posting their resume on Dave's (or elsewhere)? Their whole resume, an abbreviated bullet version, a narrative "ad"?

A short message, example:

Canadian Male
Looking for work in Korea. Looking for work in xxxxxxx. Successfully completed 3 contracts in Korea and am looking forward to another year.

Qualifications:
Bachelor of education, Major Career and Technology studies, minor Drama.

Teacher certification #xxxxxxxxx from the Province of Alberta Canada.

For further information email me at XXXXXXX.

Anything else can be on your CV and cover letter.

Thanks -- that's just what I've been trying to get a sample of. Very helpful. And, just to clarify -- the CV and cover letter would only be sent to those requesting additional information after seeing the posted message? They're not actually "posted" anywhere?

You could post them but there is too much personal information on some CV's.

I would post something along the lines of country of origin, sex, qualifications and contact info. They will contact you if you are qualified.
