By making your resume public on monster.com, that means it is readily viewed by any "Employer" user who does resume searches in an effort to identify candidates for a position. Keep in mind that this means the person looking for your resume still has to sign in to the monster.com system, and your resume is not instantly viewable to everybody on the whole wide Internet.
For an "Employer" user to specifically search for YOUR resume, they must first log in to monster.com. Following that, this is what the monster.com
"Help" segment says:
To find a Resume by its number:
- Go to the Resume Search page.
- Change Search By Date to From Today to All Resumes.
- Enter the Resume Number in the Keyword Search field.
- Click Search and the system will locate and display the Resume.
To find a Resume by a Job Seeker's name:
- Change Search By Date to From Today to All Resumes.
- Enter the Job Seeker's name in the Keyword Search field.
- Click Search and the system will locate and display the Resume.
If you are NOT expecting a person to seek YOUR resume specifically, but are simply looking to increase the odds of having your resume viewed for the position you seek, double-check your resume to make sure you included many of the keywords relevant to your desired position (but only if they're *true*!). For example: if you wanted a position in web design, you would include keywords such as XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc... If you wanted an Office Assistant position, keywords might include MS Outlook, Lotus Notes, Simply Accounting. "Employer" users typically search for resumes based on keywords relevant to the skills / requirements relevant to the job.
Also, make sure to update your monster.com resume each time there is something new and relevant to add to your resume.
