Thanks for Nothing Monster.com

Even though I have never used their services before, I decided to try Monster.com to help me find a new job.  I still don’t have a job, and the only thing Monster.com has managed to do for me is flood my inbox with junk mail.  No leads, no call-backs from businesses where I submitted a resume, just a pile of digital garbage.

junkmail

I’m not talking about a few junk emails here and there, I’m talking about 15-20 emails a day.  Some are your typical fare — enlarge-your-manhood, please-her-all-night-long sort of stuff — but most are junk mail disguised as employment opportunities.  These make me the most furious.

In two months I have received zero actual job leads from Monster.com and I am not a happy customer.  If you are a person in search of a job, I highly recommend that you move along and don’t waste your time with Monster.  If you are a business in search of employees, don’t tarnish your company’s image be aligning yourself with this worthless organization.

I’m going now to delete my account.  Thanks for nothing Monster.com.

    My husband was in search of a job at the end of last year and we had the same experience with Monster.com. The way he finally got call backs and interviews and eventually a job was the old fashioned way…calling, calling again, and then calling some more. He applied and interviewed for anything and everything that he was qualified for and fortunately he got a job at his first choice. It's not fun or easy. I wish you luck! Be persistant.

    My prayer for you is that God will give you knowledge, understanding, and wisdom in your search for a job. Remember, Christ said in Revelation 3:8 that he would set before us an open door that no one can close. May you find that open door and walk on through it.

    I hear you with Monster.com. I feel like CareerBuilder.com does a better job. They actually send you a regular email with a list of jobs that fit your profile for you to apply to.
