The two job based Internet websites I choose to research were web and www. manpower. com. Monster.
com claims to be the largest and most comprehensive job search engine on the World Wide Web. Jeff Taylor, who is the CEO, founded the company in 1994. Monster. com is a public company and is traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol (MOST).
The company also has twenty-three sites in countries around the world. Monster. com’s website is very user friendly, it is very easy to navigate through the site to find what you are looking for. One of the great benefits about Monster.
com is their career advice section. The section provides job seekers valuable information such as, resume tips, interviewing tools, expert advice on salaries in different careers, message boards for networking with employers and others job seekers, and also relocating tools such as moving advice and home mortgage quotes. Furthermore, Monster. com also provides specialized advice and job searches in different industries from healthcare to government positions. Also, Monster. com provides job searches for special interests such as military and volunteer work.
One of the many things that I find interesting about Monster. com is that they offer free fax numbers, free newsletters regarding current issues / news on different careers, a print center to make business cards, letterheads, and even address labels where as Manpower. com does not provide these services. Monster. com does allow users with current accounts to post resumes on the website for potential employers to search. I performed a mock job search and was impressed by not having to register to just search the database where as many companies require setting up a username and password just to search.

There is no doubt that people who want to have a good life dream of a good job. Although it may seem us easy to find a job, people have to struggle so much for having a good job because of great competition about accept top position even average positions. There are various ways to find a job such as internet, direct application, newspapers, using connections or friends, networking. In my opinion ...
Monster. com allows job seekers to perform simple or advanced job searches, where you can enter key words, wage options such as, hourly or salary, or specific city locations to narrow your search. Another great advantage I believe that Monster. com has over Manpower is their Monster Learning Center where the public can find degree programs at local college and also online universities. Manpower. com was established in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1948.
Manpower is considered to be the world leader in the employment services industry. The company provides permanent, temporary and contract recruitment, training, financial services, and organizational consulting to businesses as well as job seekers. Manpower has offices in Canada, France, and the United Kingdom. There are 4, 300 offices in 67 different countries and territories with 27, 000 employees worldwide as of 2004. Manpower is also a public company and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol (MAN).
In 2004, Manpower placed 2.
5 million individuals on temporary and contract assignments worldwide. In 2005, Manpower had the privilege of being named America’s Most Admired Staffing Company for the third year in a row by Fortune 500. Manpower has a well designed website for its users, but is not as pleasing as Monster. com.
I noticed that Manpower’s website is set up more for business / employer use and not so much for the job seekers. I also performed a mock job search on Manpower. com to see the differences and also similarities between Monster. com and Manpower. com.
I found that the job search tools on Manpower. com are not as detailed as Monster. com; the only search options are keyword and zip code. Manpower as well allows users to post resumes on their website for employers to search for potential applicants.

It is important that a person knows how to search effectively for a job. There are three effective ways to look for a job: use a variety of resources, do a ...
Manpower does provide training through their global learning center, but it is specifically for certifications and courses that can only be used at Manpower, it is not related to any college-credited classes. In my future job searches I feel that Monster. com is more suited to my preferences and needs. Also, Monster. com is more appealing to me due to most of the job posting being non-contract and temporary.
