How often do Veterans/Transitioning military post their resumes to Job Search websites, and how often are they contacted for opportunities?

I saw a statistic on LinkedIn of a 3% effectiveness rate of applying for a job on line. That number can increase if you research the job/company and linkup/connect with individuals that work for that company.

I only post when I am actually applying for something. However, since I am in the civil service, it works a bit differently. There is an option to make the resume viewable, but I never heard of someone being selected like that. I usually make the list when I apply. Interviews are hit or miss depending on the selecting official. I have a pretty good success rate though.

I have not been in the job market for a few months. But, when I was, I posted my resume on Indeed and Monster and have actually been contacted a few times. I would say at 1-2 times a month and I am not actively searching or haven't updated my resume since this past April. Now, the follow on question might be related to if those folks contacting me were anything close to the industry I am looking for. Most times they aren't.
