My opinion of this site is that its a great idea, but execution is everything. On one hand, yes, if you need a job, its nice. But speaking as someone who has looked for a job on this site, they use clever marketing tactics in some advertisements that make you believe you have to fill out certain forms in order to get job results. This of course just sells your information to malicious people who then Spam you like its their job - because it is. So in that sense, Monster.com does create jobs...for spammers. When I was jobless I spent about 50 hours a week on this site filling out applications and taking training tests. None of which ever landed me even a single interview... after 1000s of applications. I recommend Craigslist.com!

I agree with you wholeheartedly! It is a great concept, but nothing more. Monster.com is pretty much all spam. I'm glad I haven't wasted too much of my time there.
