“Inappropriate business practices”

In less than 4 hours you charged me over 70 dollars. What a scam! Your goal was to get your monthly maximum, of hundreds of dollars, as fast as possible. I wanted to discuss this with you, considering I got not one hit.instead you debited my account immediately. Talk about unfair business practices, you're greedy. I'll never use you again and I will do all I can to slander you, or as I call it.the truth.

The monster platform is user-friendly for job searching, however the job postings are at times misleading. Also, when I receive job information, sometimes the location is so far away from the area that I am interested in or even in another state.

Tip for consumers:
there isn't any other services that they give you. You upload resume and cover letter and that's it, there isn't. No advice.

I used Monster years ago to find a job. There were many that I was qualified for which I did actually stop because I went on disability. There are several job sited out there that I feel are just as good as Monster.

I have not been able to find any work from this site. I still use it though. Just keep looking and keep trying. The site glitches some times. They will also send you to another website to sign up for just to apply for that job. That's too much work.

As I see not only me is not that happy with this website for job search. Meybe it's not about the website itself but the emloyees who are writing the criterias for the positions. If fact, everything turn out to be different. I wish you checked everything more carefully. Sorry I'm no satisfied with it all.

Starting with i had not even applied on monster.com for job opportunities but suddenly on a saturday morning i got a call from monster.com saying i have jobs that fit your profile and we will sure shot get you in one of those. It was an R&D job and she was confident that if u don't get in the first company i will make sure u get in the second one. She asked me to send some documents like CV to her via email which wasn't even of a monster.com one it was a normal gmail id and then fill the registration fees and to do that she would have to transfer my call to one of the job company and they would guide me further. She transferred the call saying that it is one of the accountant from the company and when i asked him from where was he calling he very confusingly said MONSTER.COM and asked me to make a transaction in an online private wallet by providing me his login and password. I couldn't believe he had done that with many other innocent people as i saw many different transactions to that account.
Please this is a shoutout to all the job seekers neverrrrr make online payments to these job portals.

I haven't gotten a job by using the site, but I like their tips. Using their online tips, I was able to do a better interview to land a job that I found on my own.
