I just posted a comment. Actually, I don't think I'm going to use Monster anymore. It's a great website but that ad on the bottom is so distracting and the fact that I can't see a company and a location at the same time slows down my job search. I will come back to you guys as a last resort. But, this used to be such a great website and really still is that it used to be the first place I'd go. I analyze data for a living so I know that in the grand scheme of things for every customer you lose like me you still make more money due to the increased advertising revenue. I'd be surprised other people don't feel the same way. You guys are now my last resort instead of the first place I look for a job.
