True Story:

My mom hadn't updated her Monster profile in over 10 years. She had been working at Computer Sciences Corporation ever since I was 2 years old because it was her first office job and she just felt comfortable there, but she was finally feeling like she needed some change. One day she got an email from a recruiter telling her they found her profile on Monster and decided they wanted to hire her.

Now, what are you waiting for?

Go out there and update your profile! I just recently updated my profile and have already gotten asked my employers to set up interviews. The opportunities are endless! With unemployment rates rising, we need all the help we can get. Let Monster.com work for you and guide you through the terrifying process of stepping into the "real world."

Good Luck!

Peace & Love,
