Monster jobs UK: Should you use Monster UK to find a job?

This is a highly visual site with plenty of graphics. A straightforward job search can be conducted by location, sector (the list is more specific than most), contract type, or keyword. You can sort results by date or relevance, and opt to view a shortened or full-length description for each vacancy. You can also search for jobs solely within Scotland, Europe and Globally, as well as the UK.

Register with Monster UK and you can upload your CV or build one online, allow employers to view your CV and get in touch, respond to adverts by sending applications directly, and request email alerts for relevant jobs. You can also subscribe to newsletters.

Other resources include careers related articles and career tools. The tools buttons link through to services that you can pay for, such as CV Writing and Career Life Coaching. The younger demographic is reflected in the presence of online communities, where you can talk to other job seekers or ask for "expert advice".

A drawback with this site is that, in places, it is visually over-busy. Also, the presentation of search results is not as clear as it might be. There are some issues with advert categorisation (international vacancies being returned under UK regional searches).
