Monster.com makes money how?

Ok now I am beginning to doubt the validity of job posting, resume posting sites like Monster.com, I have applied to tens of jobs and have only received one call from one contract house the day I posted. Not to mention checking these sites daily produces very little in new positions available, barring working for the US armed services in Iraq or some other God awful place as a "action field photographer" or "food services culinary specialist" which looks to be the biggest employer posting on Monster currently.

These job seeking/posting sites are not really very effective in my opinion, the only way I see them actually doing anything effectively is shoving a advertisements for further schooling, etc at every other screen....to which I have to frigging constantly reply by hitting the NO THANKS radio buttons.

I mean if I had money to spend would I even be on the site?

So off to craigslist I go...now here is a study in futility as well, craigslist appears to be very effective if your a trans gendered Korean amputee looking for another trans gendered Korean amputee OR selling a guitar...other than that I am not seeing much worth here as well, to tell you the truth if your any kind of serious employer advertising on craigslist your going to look somewhat seedy to me.

But I gave it a shot anyhow, about 20 or so emails later I have not gotten as much as one "thanks but no thanks" letter back. I have come to the conclusion on two possibilities with craigslist, either A) the employer is getting so many emails they can't even effectively reply to all of them or B) they are as seedy and unprofessional as they appear.

How about a video resume on youtube? So off I go again whisked via the web to the largest collection of total geeky assholes the world has seen in video form to date. This isn't going to cut it, everyone I look at as a reference point for how to get it done looks like a total tool or possibly the best linguist of the Klingon language known to man. There is just now way it ever looks good barring one...your a hot chick with a good rack.

The proof is in the hit counts, no one is looking at dudes, they are all checking out;

A) The hot chicks

and later

B) Filtered again by hot chicks with good racks.

Want your video resume to work? Be a hot chick with a big rack and wear something sexy, I guarantee you will be breaking a glass ceiling somewhere.



I have come to one recent conclusion though in the business world.

It's not what you know, It's not who you know...

It's who you know THEN what you know that will get you the job.
