Thinking about putting my resume online at Monster.com. Just hoping to hear back from anybody who has had any success with this.

The only replies from employers seeing my resume on Monster.com have been for insurance sales......

YES. I got myself an amazing break here by perseverence with Monster. What's your line of work?

ScousePete

Great if you are in the insurance business

I think these are companies that send out interview offers to just about everyone with a new resume on there.

Depending on your line of work, I think there's no harm done. I'm yet another IT drone, and posted mine up there when I got here. I did get a few calls, and an interview or two (Didn't get the job's but I got a foot in the door).

MY current job, I got on Careerbuilder.com. So yeah, it's not a total waste of time, at least from my perspective.

Printing/reprographics. Moved more into the digital side of things now though. I've put it on there. Cannot hurt I guess.

I've actually had a few leads and even interviews. More so from recruters using Monster to do some behind the scene candidate profiling.

I wouldn't rely on Monster alone as a job application vehicle, it is too downhearting sending your resume and cover letter off into the www never to get a response most of the time.

I had some luck with my local online job sites. Landed my current job via Washingtonpost.com/Jobs. Amazed even my own sceptical use of these tools.

Nope, not at all.
