On my quest to find a job, I’ve been applying to job ads from smaller sites (like craigslist) to the bigger ones like monster.com, careerbuilder.com. I’m starting to think I’m wasting my time by applying to jobs on these larger sites like monster (I’m an entry-level candidate, May 2006 grad). Now, Monster allows you to see your status. For the last month, for each resume and cover letter I sent these employers, my resume/cv letter was only viewed ONE time (the rest were just ‘received’). It’s annoying to me that I spend my time customizing every cover letter, but they don’t even read it. Should I just focus on the smaller sites and company-specific postings (I mean, on the company websites). I’m starting to feel like I’m wasting my time on these large websites.
