Watch this video to learn how uploading too many resumes can blacklist you and keep you from getting hired.
Only 5-8% of PhD-level jobs are filled through uploading resumes to online job portals. Most PhDs think that they simply need to upload more resumes to get hired. This is not the case and is often what prevents PhDs from being hired.
