If I fill out the aplication at newstartcareers.com?

Question

Will I still have to fill out a new application everytime I apply for a job like at Monster and Career Builder? I hate that! Why do they make me fill out their form if every company I apply for is going to make me fill out a form at their site? I mean, what’s the good of Monster and CB if they don’t really do anything?

Answer 1

The benefit of posting your application on Monster and Career Builder is that employers can find you. Employers can search Monster’s entire database of resumes with keywords to find you when they’re looking for a job. That’s why you have to constantly update your information or it will look stale and a new job may just pass you by.

Answer 2

Well, if you read their press release, they claim that they’re quick and easy.

Answer 3

I hate applying for jobs through those sites. I hate filling out form after form after form. If these guys make it easier, I’d vote for them for president.

Answer 4

Oh god! I know! That annoys the c**p out of me as well! You spend an hour filling out one application for the site, then click the apply button only to have to fill out a whole friggin’ other app for that company! It’s so annoying!

Answer 5

I checked them out. They don’t have much of an application. They basically get your name and address and then have you attach your resume. So, you don’t have to fill out a long form. You’re done in like two minutes so long as your resume is all up to date. And according to their main site which you’re directed to...

...they forward the resume to the employer. So, they’re kinda like a recruiter, but they don’t do much more than submit your resume for you. But, I’d think that having a company like that submit your resume would give it more weight than if you submit it on your own.
