  1. its reallly how many people get jobs, is it safe? yes and no but what else are you going to do. Is anything safe nowadays. Do it . Don't go on craiglist though and post your resume.
  2. If they are secure sites yes. The web address after sign in should start https, if its just http then no, its not secure.
  3. Yep, 100%. I've had my resume on Monster and CareerBuilder for years...all has been fine, without any problems.
  4. Yes and No. Websites always have that chance of getting hacked if they don't update their security software. So if they don't, they probably will get hacked unfortunately. I know with Careerbuilder you can apply to jobs without setting up an account as I have applied through those means. Not certain with Monster. Usually, I check the job listings on those sites and apply to the Company's website directly. I remembered reading sometime ago that Monster got hacked. Found the article. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/gadgetreviews/monstercom-hacked-user-id-e-mail-phone-numbers-stolen/897 I guess my advice is to be careful when applying and if they ask for your SSN or even the last 4 digits, don't give that to them. They don't need that info until you're hired.
  5. It is fairly safe, but not totally. Don't put your address on your resume. Create a new email just for job searching since you will receive a lot of spam. It gets you exposure to recruiters and headhunters which is good, but also to spammers which is not good.
