I just landed a great contract because I placed my resume on Monster.com.
I never considered it to be an important tool in my job-finding toolbox, but
I figured, what the heck, it can't hurt.
IMHO, if you're looking for work, you should try as much and try as hard as
you can. It takes no time at all to put yourself up on Monster and FlipDog
and it can bring results.
