Create a More Secure Password

Your log in information, especially your password, is the key to your account. To prevent unauthorized access to your account, you should update your password with some new rules in mind.

    To create a complex password, follow these tips:
  • We no longer allow simple passwords that might be easy for others to guess (e.g., monster, monster1, 1234). Instead, try using words or phrases that have more personal meaning.
  • Your password must have a minimum of 8 characters. Try using more if you can.
  • Make sure you use at least one number or symbol (other than '&') in your password. Not only is it required, but doing so makes your password harder to guess and harder for automatic decoders to generate.
  • To make it easier to remember, try replacing several letters in your password with a number or symbol that look similar; for example, use a zero instead of the letter O, and replace the letter S with a $.
  • Create a pass phrase. Monster supports use of the space bar in passwords, so you can use a complete phrase as your password.
    Avoid these common password mistakes:
  • Words found in the dictionary are easier to guess so using a random series of characters is best.
  • Sequences of characters and repeating characters (e.g., 123456, abcdefg, 9999) are also easier to guess. If you change your password every month from 'password1' to 'password2', 'password3', etc., someone could easily crack your code.
  • Never use a password that is the same as, or a variation of, your e-mail address or real name.
  • Never use a password that is used as an example of a password.
    Keep your password secure:
  • As tempting as it might be to write your password down to help you remember it, this is very unsafe. Take a few minutes to memorize your password.
  • Never e-mail anyone your password, and most importantly, never respond to an e-mail that is asking for your password. Monster will never e-mail you asking you to supply us with your password.

Syndicate (Post) a Job

The job posting process consists of several pages. On each page, the mandatory fields are indicated with a red asterisk (*). The more complete your job listing, the more informed the job seeker will be when reviewing it.

Job Information

On this page you will provide some of the basic information about the job including the job title, schedule, salary, and location. Though only job title, job type, job status, state and postal code are mandatory, we encourage you to include as much detail as possible.

Job Title
When job seekers are reviewing job search results, the job title is one of the first things they see. It is a good idea to keep the job title both concise and descriptive (e.g., Senior Credit Analyst, Human Resource Manager, Cashier, Retail Supervisor). You should avoid using abbreviations (e.g., Senior instead of Sr.), company-specific terms (e.g., Strategic Systems Department), and information pertaining to benefits and salary. You can include this information in the job description and other related sections of your job posting. Job titles cannot exceed 100 characters.

Job Type & Job Status
Select any types and statuses that apply to this job posting.

Hours/Shifts & Additional Details
Though these fields are not mandatory, it is a good idea to include this information especially for part time jobs, internships and jobs with non-traditional hours. You can select the appropriate hours/shifts options and include more details within the additional details field. For example, if this is a part-time job, you may want to use this field to indicate how many hours per week the person will work.

Salary Range & Additional Salary Info
Though these fields are not mandatory, it is a good idea to include this information. When entering a salary range, make sure to select the appropriate rate of pay option (per year, per month, per week, etc.). You can use the additional salary field to include details about commissions, bonuses, and benefits.

Job Search Keywords
If there are industry-specific terms or other words that are not included in the job title or job description, you may want to include those terms within the keyword field. It is another way that you can ensure that the right job seekers are finding your job opportunities.

Examples of the types of keywords you may want to include: skills (e.g., Java, project management, graphic design) and specific experience (e.g., managed sales team, coordinated marketing campaign).

Job Location
The state and postal code fields are mandatory because they appear on the job search results seen by job seekers (along with the city if one is included). Seekers can also search for jobs by postal code and radius so it is important that you include the correct postal code. You can also complete the address information.

Job Description

Submit a complete and detailed job description to make your posting more attractive to a job seeker. In addition to the responsibilities associated with the job, your description can also include qualifications/requirements, information about your company/department, benefits offered, etc.

You can type or cut and paste the text of the description into the textbox and use the formatting buttons to make the description stand out.

    Formatting includes:
  • Font Styles, Font Sizes and Custom Characters
  • Bold, Italics and Underlining
  • Left, Center, Right and Full Justification
  • Bullets and Numbered Lists
  • Indenting
  • Creating a Hyperlink

For those who are familiar with HTML, you can toggle over to the HTML tab to clean up the formatting or make additional changes.

Contact Information

Select what contact information you want displayed to job seekers on the job posting. You can either select one of your account contacts from the drop-down or you can enter the contact information in the fields provided. You can also change the way your company name is displayed on the job posting and add a company description.

Confidential Jobs
Select the 'I prefer to keep this posting confidential' checkbox if you do not want your company name or any of your company information displayed to job seekers. Your company name will be displayed as 'CONFIDENTIAL' and all contact information will be hidden. Please note that job seekers can be apprehensive of jobs that do not contain any company information so keep this in mind when selecting this option.

How to Apply
You can give job seekers the option to apply for your job listing through MonsterTRAK. This gives you access to the applicant resumes through your MonsterTRAK account.

Otherwise if you have an application form on your own Web site where you want to direct applicants, you can select the 'Visit Web Page' option and enter a Web site address. Please note that you must enter the complete Web site address including the 'http://' or 'https://'.

Job Targeting

Use the options to help categorize your job posting. Seekers can search for jobs using these options including industry, major, location, and category / occupation; therefore it is important to try to categorize your job posting properly.

Location
By default, the location that you selected on the Job Information page is already selected for you. You can select other locations as well. This can be helpful if the job is located at the border of two states and you want to ensure that job seekers will find your opportunity if they perform a location search. Please note that you will incur a charge for any additional locations that you select.

Job Search Category & Occupation
Select the category/occupation that best reflects the job opportunity. You can select up to 3 occupations within a single category. Please note that if you select occupations from different categories, you will incur a charge.

Industry
Select the industry (or industries) that reflect the type of company or even the division of the company that is hiring. You can select multiple industries.

Major
Something unique to MonsterTRAK is the option to target your job posting by major. You can select an unlimited amount of majors for your job posting. Note: A posting without a major will only appear when a seeker performs a job search without selecting a major as search criteria.

Enhance Your Posting

To make your job posting stand out in the search results that job seekers see, you can bold the job title, add a sub-title or indicate that you are posting an environmentally-friendly job.

Please note that there is an additional cost for bolding or adding a sub-title. If you use your Job Credit Inventory to pay for this posting, you will not be charged the extra $25 for this selection. If you select the 'Green Careers' option, you must agree to the terms of a green job.

Please note that submitting a cover letter is optional so you may see the text 'None Provided' if the seeker did not include a cover letter.

Applicant Status

After reviewing the seeker's application materials, you may want to update the Applicant Status. This can be especially helpful if you are reviewing several resumes and want to keep track of each resume that you have reviewed. Please note that the job seeker cannot see which Applicant Status you have selected.

Please note that if you selected the 'Custom Apply URL' option on the job posting so that applicants are directed to your Web site to apply, you will not have access to their resumes on MonsterTRAK. You will see the name of the applicant on the Applicants page and you will be able to update the Applicant Status.

The preferred applicant filter gives employers the ability to separate job applicants based on their school affiliation. Employers can activate the preferred applicant filter in the My Account section; upon activation the preferred schools can be selected. Preferred applicants will appear in the applicant section of Jobs and Applicants Management System on a preferred applicants tab, while non preferred applicants will be shown on an additional applicants tab.
