Sree Advice On Online Job Hunting Resources

POSTED: 12:23 pm EDT August 27, 2007
UPDATED: 5:51 am EDT August 29, 2007

Recent reports that Monster.com, the largest job hunting site, lost personal information of more than a million customers has made a lot of people nervous.

If you have a Monster.com account, please be careful and watch your account carefully. The main thing to watch out for is to never reply to any e-mails from companies that appear to be writing to you. Always go to the main site by typing in the real address into your browser, rather than clicking on the e-mail link.
