A Monster? Where?

What is the deal with Monster.com? Really. What is the deal? Has ANYONE actually gotten a job offer as a direct result of using Monster? Because I’d really like to know. It would give me a huge boost to know that Monster has worked for someone, somewhere.

Meeting with a professional recruiter last week, we went over my resume, cover letters and application channels. There wasn’t a whole lot to change. A little tweak here, move a paragraph there. Then I brought up my Monster activity stats:

  • Search cities: 2
  • Job postings: 12,435
  • Jobs I’ve applied to: 157
  • Number of responses: 0

This gifted woman, who has placed THOUSANDS of people, turns to me and says:

“No one searches Monster to hire anyone below Director level.”

Why the hell didn’t anyone tell me this BEFORE I wasted 2 1/2 months? Why isn’t this PLASTERED on the Monster homepage, so folks like you and me can cut one more channel of BS out of the hiring process?

I know EXACTLY why. And you do, too.

I’ve used Monster to find a job and:
Dude, it sucks. All I get is Spam.
Dude, YOU suck. I landed a job from Monster.
You wouldn’t be in sales and telemarketing, would you?
Why, yes, I AM! Are you interested in consolidating your credit card debt…
Quit calling me.
But we can offer you a low, low rate of 3.5%…
Seriously, quit calling me.
