This website used to be great - right around the time when Monster first came out. Yes, that old. This was at the cusp of the digital application revolution, and I much preferred going through Career Builder than filling-out all those extraneously long personality-test laden applications for each individual company I might want to work for. I can tell you that back in the golden age, I used to get contacted by legitimate staffing companies EVERY single time I uploaded an updated resume, and usually by the next day. I knew that after getting off a particular assignment, I could upload my new resume on Friday and have phone calls by Monday.

Well I am sorry to say, those days are long-gone...

Career Builder has gone completely downhill since their website revamp a few years ago. I tried visiting it again just to see what would happen, and this place looks like it's being run by primitive AI from a bad Science Fiction novel. I think I'm going to delete my account after reading some of these other reviews. They changed everything around so now, the site tries to do everything FOR you. After spending a good long while manually entering my work history (which I HATE), I uploaded my resume so employers would have a more comprehensive document to look at. CB took that resume, and OVERWROTE all of my work experience entries! And INCORRECTLY, at that! I now have a warehouse work entry copied over into a senior care entry! My profile makes absolutely no sense now, and everything's screwed-up! And the best part is, it won't let me change it now or save any corrections that I make. But that's ok, because nobody's probably looking anyway - unless you count 'Life Points' and other work-from-home survey scams that want all your information but give you nothing.

I contacted them again tonight about these issues, but expect no response - they never got back to me last time, and back when you were actually able to call them, I even talked to somebody about some of these same problems back then. They apparently never addressed them, and that was several years ago after the 'relaunch.' I asked them in my support message tonight whether anybody was there, or if monkeys have taken-over. I guess it would probably be wiser not to wait around to find out. Thanks for posting, y'all!

Hello fellow job seekers. If you are reading this, it means you take your job search seriously. You are probably a lot like me, in that you want to find something that fits you. You do your research on the companies you will apply to find the right fit, you want a job you can be happy at and will give you the best options. But, like me, you need to track down these potential companies and open positions. You could grab the morning paper, drive down to an employment agency in your state or you can do all of this online. I chose online for the simple fact jobs are updated at all times, you don't have to go out and buy the paper or wait for its arrival and you don't have to sit in a stuffy office building in front of a bank of computers.

It is just so easy to do all of this from the comfort of your own home, so now all you have to do is find the best job search site. There are a bunch of them. Some are ok, some are geared more for the professional and then there are those that cover just about anything. Career Builder is one of those sites, for lack of a better term, is just pure GARBAGE. Don't even bother filling out all the information, doing a search or even giving them your email address. Folks, I have worked with at least four different sites and Career Builder, although one of the five, would be ranked down around 20th on the list for a reputable and helpful sites. Yes, I know the math doesn't work, but that is the best I can do as far as ranking a loathsome site that has sent me jobs I never asked for, from the same companies, repeatedly. I used to just hit the 'Not Interested' tab and then when directed for a reason, usually just hit the not interested in company and never filled out the remarks. Until about a month ago, when I typed out the response as to why I refused to even consider working for the company they were suggesting.

Then again about 2 weeks ago, they sent me another job opportunity for the same company. I responded, explaining this was the second time and reiterated my desire not to apply for, let alone work for the company and informed Career Builder, if I received another request for this company or anyone like it, I would deliver a poor review of Career Builder. Well, guess what I got just an hour before writing this review. That's right folks, another request to consider the company. It's a good thing I take HBP medication, or I would have had a stroke. I will not give you the name of the company they continually tried to get me to apply for, since it's not the companies fault that Career Builder does a lousy job at putting the right potential employee with the right company. Nor is it the fault of the company that individuals working for Career Builder can't review, read or comprehend a written response asking to never be bothered about the company again. Not once, not twice but three times or more.

So, to Career Builder, I do not wish to continue any job searches through your lousy site. I suggest others do the same. I will continue to do my searches with sites who actually listen to the individual and take the time to make contact with them to correct these type of mismatches from happening. I would give Career Builder a negative 10 star review, but its not an option given. Good luck job seekers.

I like it.
