Posting your resume on Monster is more useful for getting spam than it is for finding a job.

At least you get spam. I never got BOO.

I got my Nashville job through Monster and only get a little spam.
Maybe it's because I'm somehow superior to you. Just a theory. A very weak one.

Need this case of NyQuil back?

[weswilson]

I somehow suspect that you are, indeed, superior to me on paper... despite your nyquil-thieving ways.

FYI - Kahlua and NyQuil SOUNDS like a great idea - but it isn't. Same for Peppermint Schnnapps. The Experiments Continue....

[weswilson]

Maybe you are going the wrong direction... perhaps you should start looking to mix more wellness elixers with your NyQuil.... Robo and NyQuil?

Amen!!!

and be careful of who does respond. The two responses I got from Monster were:

1) A pyramid scheme
2) an unscrupulous telemarketer I ended up having no choice but to work for because I was that desperate.

I posted on 3988439874 sites and got nothing but work from home stuff. I found my dream job at a job fair - by accosting the sales manager who was running the fair for the radio station :) :)

I also got some mail from a rather costly career advice specialist.

job fairs around here tend to focus on the defense industry.

Re:

That's kinda spooky.

What field are you in?

[weswilson]

Well, I've been TRYING to be a software engineer... but everything around here is defense contracting, so the jobs suck... I work one, get laid off after a year or so, then wait tables for a couple of years.

Is it the area you're in? Have you considered relocation?
