You know I have tried those, but I keep getting websites or companies that are looking to provide resumes.

Here is a sample of one of my searches:

(intitle:"resume for" | intitle:"resume of") electrician AND detailer AND CAD -(-inanchor:apply -inanchor:submit -inanchor:sample -intitle:how -intitle:write)

keyword here inurl:resume jobskill jobskill jobskill (phone OR email) -submit -openings -template -tips -submission -sample -examples -wizard

This has worked well for me to eliminate most job board and sample stuff. It may pull resumes off of job boards, but I have had good luck getting candidates contact info from them anyway.

The first keyword could be the job title: engineer or "programmer analyst" then the other keywords are skill sets...you can add several and back off to get your base set of resumes...

Good luck...

Ok I ran one on google and it seemed ok, you might need to tweak your keywords a bit to make sure you're getting what you want. This is what I ran:

intitle:resume electrician cad detailer -job -jobs -send -submit -you

easy way for most search engine is to use the minus sign and the words that are typically used in job postings instead of resumes. i.e. -jobs -submit -posting

Or you could use a product like eGrabber's Resume Grabber Pro - which will analyze each of the pages in your search and figure out which ones are real resumes. Fairly expensive tool - but it will pay for itself in the amount of time that you get back during each search.

One other thing - you can limit the results to PDFs and .doc files which will 'over eliminate' but will give you a much cleaner list too. (inurl:.doc OR inurl:.pdf)
