Monster.com Success Stories – Apple iPad Giveaway! (Closed)

I cannot begin to tell you how many places I have listed my resume on in the past; locally, newspaper online sites, email, and then there is the popular Monster.com. When I lived in Texas, my favorite job of all time came from Monster.com – no joke! When I was approached to post about the Success Stories from Monster.com, I was more than thrilled! The entire process was easy and fast, and if you ever want to update your resume, that is so easy as well.

I am working with Monster.com’s Success Stories community, which can be found at http://success.monster.com, where participants are encouraged to submit success stories or career tips to the community via videos, photos and text. It’s meant to encourage hope and optimism in this tough job market. I cannot begin to express how amazing I think Monster.com is. After I found my job in Texas, it really opened myself up for a whole lot of possibilities. Once I found my full time job, I was then able to keep my resume updated and used it a few years later when I made the move from Texas to the Midwest. Companies trust Monster.com, and I can see why.

Greg Drevenstedt, road test editor for Rider Magazine, found his dream job on Monster.com on the very first day of his job search. Greg now travels the world testing and evaluating new motorcycles and gear, while writing stories and shooting video about his experiences. A video of Greg’s story is posted on the site to motivate and encourage others to share their own stories.

The site also includes video profiles of Alexis Tirado, the head blogger for Alicia Keys’ new website – IAmASuperWoman.com – and Dan Blasini, who found a job he is passionate about working with injured soldiers returning from war.

With today’s economy, there are so many out there that are seeking a job. Why not take your resume over to Monster.com? You can easily update your profile, add your qualifications and with all that, you can easily search for jobs and in my case, the job may just come to find YOU.
