Monster.com - Popular jobs site for employment and careers around the world

Monster Jobs

Get work. Network. Build a better career. Today's the day.

Founded in January 1999, Monster.com is an employment website that was borne from the successful merger of two of the Internet's first career websites, The Monster Board (TMB) and Online Career Center (OCC). This marriage produced the Internet's first public job search site, the world's first public resume database and the first job website to employ job search agents and job alerts.

The driving force of Monster.com is its powerful search engine which typically unearths a wealth of job opportunities that match the skills and locations of prospective employees.

Monster.com boasts of more than a million job openings at any single time and a robust database of over a 41 million resumes. In addition, its listings include over 5,000 employees in 26 countries, an impressive reach that no other employment website can match.
