I`m 24 years old - I start out with that so that you don`t think I`m an "old fuddy duddy" (no offense to any actual old fuddy duddies out there).

I don`t think Monster, CareerBuilder, other websites like them, or Craigslist are good places for prospecting. I never found a job on any of them, and I get the impression that there are more scams on them than in the classifieds in the newspaper. And it`s easier to pick out the scams in the paper (harder to tell if something is actually legitimate on the internet).

There are other more knowledgeable people here on StartUpNation, but I would also refer you to Jeffrey Gitomer. His weekly newsletter is a great sales resources (as are his little red, yellow, green, black, platinum, books).

Hope this helps!

I`ve been using Monster, CareerBuilder, etc., and whenever I see one of these emails I just automatically delete it. It`s pretty easy to separate the spam from actual job listings I`d be interested in reading. Same with Craig`s List.

I`d argue that perhaps one of the reasons for at least a 1% increase in unemployment is the move to online job postings by these gigantic sites. They`ve removed the interaction between a candidate and a store manager so completely, that it`s almost impossible to even find a "Help wanted" listing anymore.
