 Posted: 02/28/06 - 09:29 Post subject: To the Americans -- have you heard of...
....Monster.com or Monster.ca for job sites?
I really, really need to know, 'cause I'll be starting a job hunt soon. I'm looking to include some US cities as "candidates" for relocation, but I don't know which online job search site I should use.
I'll be placing my resume online through one or more of these sites. I know that Monster is really well known in Canada, but I'm not sure about the US.
Comments?

Monster advertises on the radio and billboards down here. I had a monster.com t-shirt at one time.
All the jobs I ever applied for required the use of a hairnet though, so I didn't search thru monster.

Hairnets are better than latex gloves any day!

Did he write a ticket or a receipt?

I use and have used Monster.com. I recently took my resume off of their because I was getting 1-2 calls almost everyday. All but one were headhunters. the problem I had was that am looking to relocate to mexico or Texas and all the offers were from local companies, despite the fact that my resume and search criteria said that I was looking out of state.

Hair.net?
I sense irony.
