Job Postings?




Thankfully, I have worked for the same organization for the last twenty years and have been able to advance inside the organization and not had to hunt for a new job. However, I was given an assignment to explore at least one and review it.

After typing in the search on the google website, I was amazed to see how many websites there are out there.  I ended up selecting the website monster.com and was instantly impressed when the site loaded.

The first thing I noticed was the large search bar in the middle of the screen. I like the fact that I didn’t have to hunt for what I wanted.  After typing in Fire Chief as the job title, about fifty positions pulled up. Once again, I was impressed by the ease of use on this page also.  All of the listings were organized on the left side of the page and a short description was well presented in the middle of the page. With just a single click on any one of the listings brought up all of the pertinent information about the job posting, including a button to allow me to apply online. Long gone are the days of having to search for jobs in the classified sections of the morning newspaper. After playing around in the site for a minute or two, I noticed a “button” that would allow me to set up alerts when a job posting that met my criteria was posted.

All in all, I was very impressed with this job site.  Have you ever used a site like this and have you been successful in finding a job?
