Monster.com Employer Views

Does anyone know if you are able to view which employers viewed the resume you uploaded to monster.com?

 

Do yourself a favor and take your resume off of monster. When I was unemployed a few years ago I actually ended up taking mine off of monster and careerbuilder because I was getting so much spam and offers for pyramid schemes, jobs asking me to relocate (when my profile specifically says NO RELO!), etc. I didn't get any legitamate calls or interviews from those sites. Try an industry specific recruiting site to the industry you are looking to work. You will have better results.

 

I agree 100% -- I was unemployed for about a year and a half (kind of taking a break anyway) and never got a legitimate offer, short of just using it to send an email/resume to an ad posted on the site (like staffing agencies post) it really isn't the place 'good' employers go looking for applicants.

Every decent job I've gotten has been either through a friend, or through local newspaper ads; actually, my current (awesome) job was posted in the local paper, I applied the same day (thursday), interviewed the next (friday), and started the next monday

Craigslist is a good source, but again, there are a lot of spammy ads on there so you have to be careful about sending out resumes.
