Allow the Right Job to Find You

Signing up for a Monster profile is the simplest method to transform that gleaming new CV of yours into interviews.

When you create a Monster account, you can submit your resume and make it available to recruiters that use our site to locate applicants for difficult-to-fill jobs. (Insider tip: Setting your resume to "visible" allows employers to see everything you've uploaded, including contact information; "limited" allows employers to see you but hides your contact information and current employer—though you can still be contacted through the site's messaging center); and "private" allows you to keep your resume all to yourself for further editing or easy application to jobs.)

Other benefits of creating an account include the ability to bookmark job searches and see your application history. You'll also be able to apply for jobs without having to submit a fresh résumé every time. Additionally, you may check boxes for a number of important email notifications by clicking on your profile avatar when logged in, then going into your "Account Settings" and clicking on "Notification Settings." Monster Updates, which will deliver targeted career advice, service announcements, and site enhancements on occasion; Targeted Career Opportunities, which are relevant jobs tailored to your specific career orientation; Monster Partner Offers, which are exclusive offers for Monster members; and our Monster Industry Newsletter, which will provide tips on how to advance your career.

Get Notified When Your Dream Job Is Posted

According to Salemi, as soon as recruiters advertise opportunities, they are ready to begin examining incoming applications, so the sooner you apply, the better your chances.

"The optimal time to apply for a job is during the first 48 hours," she explains. "Being in the first batch of applicants is crucial because you are not only first, but you are also establishing the standard for subsequent candidates."

Set up job notifications on Monster to be the first to hear about new opportunities. There are two approaches to this: First, if you're logged in, do a job search and then click the "Email me jobs" option to the right of the search. When new, matching jobs are listed, you'll be notified immediately, and the search will be saved in your profile's "saved searches" section.

If you don't want to create an account, just click the same button on any job search results page and enter the email address where you want to get job notifications. That's all there is to it.

Because jobs are tailored to your interests, you can spend less time searching through millions of opportunities on Monster and more time applying to positions that are really relevant to you.

Maintain Control of Your Search

Here's the problem with the employment market: it's always changing. New positions are being added all the time, which is wonderful for you since it increases your chances of getting a great job by the minute.

Bottom line: A few minutes of job hunting here and there every day is all you need to remain on top of things, but those minutes might be the difference between success and failure.
