Weak Monster. Review on Monster

If you're looking for a job, I mean a real quality job, there are several places to turn to. Monster.com is not one of them. Please be careful when you use job sites like these.

First, Monster is utilized mostly by temp. agencies, which acts as a middle person between you and the employer. The jobs they offer are often low paying and not very substantive. There is not much advancement, since most companies use temporary workers to fill leave of absences, usually to do work that others are unwilling to do.

It might be a fast way to find quick employment, but signing on with a temp agency can often be frustrating. Employers use temp agencies, which in turn uses these job web-sites, to quickly find employees. Temp agencies charge employers a proportion of your salary, which is why you often pick up your paycheck at the temp agency and not at the job itself.

Yes, there are ways to gain permanent employment. And yes, there are listings at these job sites that are really substantial, pay well and have lots of advancement potential. Perhaps you found some already. But finding these jobs, you need to be keen and unwilling to compromise with what you want. If you can consult with a career counselor or turn in resumes directly through the employter rather than through these job sites, then you'll find that it will serve you well. Good luck.
