Keywords are words, phrases and acronyms used to describe your target job. Your keywords can be anything from job titles and required skills to company names (e.g., UNIX, programmer, SAP, sales, COBOL, human resources, Oracle, marketing, advertising). If you are searching by more than one keyword, make sure to select the ‘all’ option if you only want results that contain all of the keywords or ‘any’ if you want results that contain one or more of your keywords.
On the Advanced Search, you can check the ‘Search only job titles’ box to limit your results just to job titles that match your keyword(s).
Something unique to MonsterTRAK is the option to search by major and all jobs are targeted by major(s). This is a great way to see the types of job opportunities posted for your major. If you search by major, only jobs that were targeted to that major (or to all majors) will appear in the search results.
Every job posted on MonsterTRAK is classified by at least one job category. You can narrow your search results by selecting one or more job categories in your search criteria.
On the Advanced Search, you can narrow your search even further by occupation. Each job is classified by one or more occupations. This can help you to narrow your search even further as occupations are a subset of the job categories.
If you know where you want to work, you may want to use the location search to narrow your results. Each job is targeted to one or more states. On the Advanced Search, you can alternately search by a postal code and radius.
On the Advanced Search, you can search by industry which describes the type of company. Every job is targeted by one or more industries. If you know what industries you want to work in, this can help you find those companies and what jobs they are hiring for.
If you are a student, you may want to narrow your search with the intern job type or the part time job status. For those who want to find environmentally friendly jobs, you can use the ‘GreenCareers’ checkbox.
Use any combination of the search options to search for jobs and internships. Remember that if you do not get enough results, you may have narrowed your search too much. Try opening up your search criteria by removing some options. Besides if you narrow your search too much, you may miss out on a perfect opportunity that was classified differently.
Once you find the right combination of search options, you may want to save it as a Job Search Agent so you can easily run that search or have results e-mailed directly to you.
Jobs that match your search criteria are listed. The results include the job title with an optional sub-title, the company name (which is listed as CONFIDENTIAL if the company does not want their name displayed), job location, and the date the job was posted. To view the details of a job, click on the job title. To apply for a job, click the 'apply' button on the Job Posting page.
By default the jobs are sorted by listing date with the most recent jobs appearing first. You can re-sort the results by any of the headers: job title, company, location, and listing date. Click on a header once to sort and click on the header a second time to reverse the sort order. With location sorting, all locations within a specific state are grouped together and then sorted alphabetically by city.
On the search results page, by default you are shown the ‘Brief’ view of the job listings. You can click on the Detailed link to see some text from the job description for each job listing.
You are shown 25 results per page by default. You can scroll to the bottom of the page and change this to either 50 or 100 results per page. Please note that the page may take longer to load if you select one of these options.
If you do not get enough results or the results you expect, you can modify your search criteria. You may have selected too many options or did not use the right keywords. You may want to modify the search a few times until you get the results you want.
As a time saver, you can save your search criteria as an agent and choose how often you want to be alerted via e-mail about new matching jobs. You can save up to five job search agents which you can access from the My Job Search Agents page.
You must enter a name for your agent and at least one search option is mandatory. You can choose how often you want to receive e-mail notifications about new jobs and the format of the e-mail. Click on the [Save] button to save your new agent.
You can edit any of the information including the title, e-mail options, and search criteria. Click on the [Save] button to save your changes.
You can disable your agent so that you no longer receive e-mail notifications. You can still run a disabled agent to see the search results. Once an agent is disabled you can click on the Enable link to re-activate it.
You can manage your existing resumes and upload new resumes from the My Resumes page. You can save up to five resumes within your account.
Your resume title can be up to 70 characters in length. If you plan to upload multiple resumes, you should keep the name descriptive so you can easily distinguish one resume from another. The title is for your records only and is not visible to employers.
A public resume is viewable by employers when they conduct resume searches and a private resume is not. You can only have one public resume at any one time, but you can use any of your resumes to apply online.

Once you retrieve the file with the [Browse] button, enter a resume title and use the [Upload] button to upload it.
You can manage your existing cover letters and upload new cover letters from the My Cover Letters page. You can save up to five cover letters within your account.
Your cover letter title can be up to 50 characters in length. If you plan to upload multiple cover letters, you should keep the name descriptive so you can easily distinguish one letter from another. The title is for your records only and is not visible to the recipient.

You must select one of your resumes and you can optionally select a cover letter. Click on the [Submit] button to submit your materials.

If you want to upload a new cover letter, simply click on the [Upload New Cover Letter] button.

Once you have applied to a job on MonsterTRAK, the details of that apply are tracked within your Apply History page and all of your apply history is stored for two years. This can be helpful when you are actively searching for a job and want to keep track of the jobs you have applied to and the resume and cover letter that you submitted.
Please note that your apply history only includes jobs that you applied for using the [Apply] button on the Job Posting page.
If you did not submit a cover letter, you will see ‘none provided’ instead of a download link in the cover letter column. If you applied through another Web site, you will see, ‘Not Available’ instead of a download link for both resume and cover letter.
There are 25 results per page and you can use the [Previous] and [Next] buttons to jump back and forth between pages. You can also go to a specific page by clicking on the number button.
By default your results are sorted by apply date. You can sort your applies in reverse order by clicking on the Applied header. You can also sort by job title and company name in alphabetical order by clicking on the header once and reverse order by clicking on the header a second time.
MonsterTRAK, in partnership with ecoAmerica, and sponsored by Environmental Defense, has developed GreenCareers, the first environmentally responsible recruitment Web site for college students and recent graduates. It is a channel on MonsterTRAK and was built to help college students and recent graduates to secure jobs with companies that positively impact the environment.
You can find the GreenCareers Web site at: www.monstertrak.com/landing_pages/green_careers.
You can search for jobs and internships that have been designated as environmentally friendly because of the nature of the work or the type of company.
