“Most human resource people are actually screeners, not hiring managers.”
Not only is that statement true, but since the economic downturn, many large companies (like my 8,000+ employee software firm) have cut back on their HR workforce. Meaning there are even fewer HR “screeners” to cull through the hundreds of resumes we get every day.

Monster has a great concept, but I agree that the execution needs work. It’s also a good idea to start an account and upload your resume on sites such as LinkedIn, where many recruiters and hiring managers go to look up info on potential candidates. Another resource which I have personally found to be useful is a new website, OneCubicle.com. It bridges the gap between LinkedIn and Facebook and allows you the ability to professionally promote yourself while also retaining some more social, fun qualities. It has been particularly helpful for me in looking for available internships and jobs.

Really interesting article (and so true)! Having connections is so important, and our site (firednetwork.com) is seeking to make networking more effective. FiredNetwork.com is a professional networking site that provides users with career advancement resources (ie employment). Members can share information and connect through our forums or through mutual contacts. Members can also search the database by profession, alma mater, location, etc to aid them in making important professional connections.

Great article! I too have spent countless hours networking, creating profiles on websites such as Monster, and sifting through online job postings. Luckily, there is a new site that may be the next great solution to the online job hunt. My company OneWire (www.onewire.com) is a career management and recruiting tool that directly matches finance professionals/students with opportunities at finance firms. Unlike old fashioned job boards, OneWire matches up candidates with financial firms that are actually actively hiring. It’s amazing to see how many jobs in finance are out there, even in these tough times. Check out http://www.onewire.com
