I posted a resume on Monster(DOT)com this weekend. It had the usual personal data, name, experience, and type of job I'm looking for. I have been thinking about changing jobs for a while, and I am well aware of the traditional methods of job-searching, but I decided to be impulsive and just throw myself out into cyberspace.
I got one email reply from a company that seems legimate and that I have heard of. OK, so far so good.
The problem, I also received one email from a company that doesn't identify itself, and wanted "managers" claiming I could make lots of money. They left a link for me to click, but I deleted it, thinking I would get hacked into, or get a virus or a worm.
Should I be getting involved with Monster?
What are the pros and cons, and is this a fools game?

I had a friend who was using monster to see what kind of jobs were open to her while she held her job. It's a no-risk way of looking around and getting offers without getting in too deep. I think it's harmless as long as you keep making smart moves like the one you did!

I've been on Monster for about 18 months now, and I use it primarily as a job search engine where I have it set up to notify me via email each day, when my daily search matches location, and job category, and keywords. I can update my resume and change my profile anytime I want. I get inquiries almost weekly, including those that include get rich quick schemes, but for the most part, it's in the category what I am looking for. I'm on a dozen other internet job boards, but I can say that with Monster, I've had the best results for my contracting business. It's like anything else, there is some bad with the good, but I recommend it! Good luck to you !
