I Read the following article and answer the questions that follow.
Moster.com, the world’s biggest online job – search site, shows how electronic marketplaces reach more people and can offer more efficiency than physical markets
It also shows that money can be made in such markets Monster has a long record of profitability
Jeff Taytor, who launched the site in 1994, says that the Monster.com name is the firm’s “single most important success factor” It introduces an image of youthful fun
in what is basically a boring business Supporting the brand is a big advertising budget which accounts for a quarter of the firm’s costs He runs expensive ads during key sporting events such as the Super Bowl
Job-seekers supply resumes and employers pay to scan them or post job ads Most of the services that job-seekers get are free, but they have to pay for a service that allows
them to contact each other for advice and career management They can use this
service to ask each other questions about, say, what it is like to work for a firm that they are thinking of joining
The main contribution of Monster has been to speed up hiring and vastly increase the accuracy of the job-research process “you can post a job at 2:00 p.m and get your first respose at 2:01,” Mr Taylor says proundly And an employer who knows exactly what he wants can use Monster’s filters to search vast numbers of resumes with precise accuracy Monster is a serious threat to newspapers, which historically made 40% of their revenues from carrying ads, up to half of which were for staff Headhunting firms have also lost business, because demand for their help in filling lower-level jobs has fallen
The online job markets work well for workers and employer who know what they want It works badly for people who are unsure Check that your resume says slearly
what kind of job you want The filters will then make sure that it reaches the right
human resource deparment
