Monster Board
The Monster Board
is a commercial site on the Web operated by ADION
Information Services which is a division of ADION, Inc., a large recruitment
advertising agency in New England. It has specific job openings and
entertaining monster graphics to keep you moving through the board.
The Monster Board offers an overview of employers, a "CyberFair" for college and entry-level positions, and a helpful "browse and select" interface that supports job searching by company name, location, discipline, industry and specific job title. Most of the jobs thus far are for technical positions,but you will find a number of positions in disciplines like marketing, sales, multimedia, and management. There appears to be a growing number of biotech/pharmaceutical jobs as well. The vast majority of the jobs are in East Coast locations, chiefly in New England, but a number of positions are located across the country.
Unique to the career searching sites on the Web, the Monster Board uses a Mosaic Forms application. Once you've targeted a position, you can use it to apply on-line, or you're invited to Email your resume to the appropriate job. In both cases, all responses are managed at the Web site, instead of the traditional send-your-resume-to-the-company. Corporate recruiters have immediate access to the confidential resume postings. Only about 50 companies are listed on the Monster Board's "Companies" section, but many more are found in the postings in the "Career Search" section. The Monster Board is listed in the "JOB SEARCH AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES: BEST OF THE NET" Guide by P. Ray and B. Taylor (UMich).
