Totally scam AKSA BEGUM
September 10, 2021

Keep this name Aksa Begum. She is a true fraudulent person. Never believe what she says about resume service. Monster gulf don't exist they are a Bunch of Indian rogues. Don't pay them a penny. Definitely, you will lose it. Remember the name Aksa Begum.

Candidates are fooled because once you register paying the Subscription, you will get calls from Companies/ Consultants for a different Job Role with salary of ten times less which you mentioned in your current CTC... Very surprising... no one is there to listen and rectify or refund once paid. Vidyalall VT- *******238, *******986. Email- *******@gmail.com

Job search site, similar to Dice.com Started using it a decade ago when layoffs were imminent at my employer. Complete waste of time. Generated worthless leads, spam, phishing and at least one recruiting attempt by a money launderer. Not an effective job search tool.

Poor customer service, only trying to wring money out of you with no regard for helping you achieve your goals.

Sales people masquerading as customer support to try to sucker you to throwing more money away, avoid these people at all costs.

I opened up my profile and updated my resume, then marked to allow recruiters to see my profile/resume. I was instantly hit with a deluge of calls, emails, and texts from india-based recruiters. At first, I didn't know if I could blame this on Monster, so I set up a google phone # and uploaded that as my contact # only to Monster. All of the worst, most unintelligible calls came through this line. I receive job postings that have only a scant relation to anything on my resume, and in high volume. Going on monster will make you miserable, and in order to find ANYTHING that is remotely appealing, you first have to sift through an exceptional amount of garbage. Other sites have been much more fruitful and useful, look elsewhere first.

I paid for an advert I never was able to see the resumes. Apparently there is a 60 days expiring of your login that I was never informed. The advert still online and I contacted them but they refuse to share the applicants that applied to my job offer.

Monster will match you with any job that key words on your resume with no filtering. Looking for Data Base Administrator jobs? They will send you Administrative Assistant jobs. I also got calls for over twenty scam companies trying to get me to send my SSN. No one is verified, you might as well use craigs list to find a job. I had a terrible experience in the early 2000s with monster, I assumed they had improved in the last decade, they have not, stay away.
