Monster Sucks
Since most of my day is spent surfing thru job boards looking for new posts within the past 24 hours, I tend to get aggrevated. I know I know, I can have job search agents emailed to me, and I do, but most of the time they are mostly jobs that are somewhat or completely unrelated to what I am looking for. Anyway, Monster is the last job board on my list, and I usually don't get to it. Well, today I got to it and remembered why it is the last on my list. There is such a thing as 'too much'. Have you ever tried browsing through jobs? Go ahead and try it; the 50 steps you need to go thru in order to get to a list of jobs will turn you away quicker than a meningitis riddled hamburger. If this is the first or only site you ever used then maybe it wouldn't seem so bad, but after using other sites such as careerbuilder, etc., Monster seems TOO thorough with its job browsing process and not thorough enough with matching results. Okay, that's my gripe for the day.

It's no gripe James, you are just stating the truth. I have not used Monster since I finally got my teaching job, but I remember the days of trying to use it. OMG!! Since the rise and fall of the economy, I began searching for a second income opportunity for my family. Yes, I know, I know I have a teaching job, but trust me there are no guarantees. I am not hear to give you a sales pitch, but only to share an opportunity. If you have 5 minutes to spare take a listen to the opportunity: 712-432-1080 access code 624031. Feel free to contact me via email if you want to know more at lady_isis621@yahoo.com
Many Blessings,

I'm surprised that people still fall for Pyramid schemes in this day and age.
From Wikipedia:
A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, often without any product or service being delivered.
A successful pyramid scheme combines a fake yet seemingly credible business with a simple-to-understand yet sophisticated-sounding money-making formula. The essential idea is that the mark, Mr. X, makes only one payment. To start earning, Mr. X has to recruit others like him who will also make one payment each. Mr. X gets paid out of receipts from those new recruits. They then go on to recruit others. As each new recruit makes a payment, Mr. X gets a cut. He is thus promised exponential benefits as the ''business'' expands.
Such ''businesses'' seldom involve sales of real products or services to which a money value might be easily attached. However, sometimes the ''payment'' itself may be a non-cash valuable. To enhance credibility, most such scams are well equipped with fake referrals, testimonials, and information. Clearly, the flaw is that there is no end benefit. The money simply travels up the chain. Only the originator (sometimes called the "pharaoh") and a very few at the top levels of the pyramid make significant amounts of money.
Pyramid schemes are illegal in many countries, including the United States.
Please DO NOT sign up for this, I know times are difficult but do you really want to go to jail? and yes people DO GO TO JAIL for pyramid schemes.

Monster 'upgraded' their site recently, it is now slow and bloated.
They have improved it so much that it is now unusable
My favorite 2 sites are indeed and simplyhired because they 'keep' the last few searches
and allow you to just search for the most recent matches.
