CVs
Creating a CV and keeping it up to date allows you to apply online instantly when you see the right job posting. When you create a CV– either by using the online builder, uploading a Word doc, or copying and pasting from a text file – the CV is listed by title in the CVs section of your homepage. Basic Monster members can create and store to 5 CVs. You can view/edit CVs and create new CVs by clicking the associated links.
Job Search Agents
Creating a job search agent automates your job search. Instead of manually repeating job searches, you can enter search criteria once and have search results emailed to you. When you save and title your job search it becomes one of your search agents and is listed in the Job Search Agents section of the homepage. Basic members can create up to 5 job search agents. You can view/modify your agents, check search results and create new agents by clicking the associated links.
Quick Apply
QUICKApply allows you to apply to a job posting with just one click. Once you set up QUICKApply, you'll have the option of using it to apply online whenever you click the 'Apply Now' button on a Monster job posting. If you'd prefer to use a different resume and/or cover letter for a particular job, you'll also have the option of using the standard apply online process.
To set up QUICKApply, click QUICKApply on the main My Monster menu bar. You'll select the Monster CV (public or private) and cover letter (optional) you wish to use when you apply online, and verify selected career information included in your Monster account.
