The Result of Monster
When I got my current job, I never removed my resume from Monster.com. I get job leads every once in awhile. Then yesterday, out of the blue, I got 2 calls in 1 day. I called both of them back, graciously thanking them for their interest, and asked if I could pass on the opportunities to my friends. I got to thinking that perhaps I should go ahead and update my last name and the resume in general. So I did that last night.
Little did I know, our HR (or somebody else) keeps a very close eye on Monster. This morning I got a call from my VP (!!!). She sounded worried, and she asked...are you happy with your job? Turns out she saw my resume on Monster and was worried that I was looking to leave. After reassuring her that I wasn't looking (I mainly use it as a tool to help my friends find jobs), she asked if there are things I'd like to change about my job...whether I like my boss...whether I need to be paid more (???)... It was super bizarre. Then she told me that if I ever have any issues or concerns, I can always go to her and tell her about them...that she'd keep it confidential.
I felt soooooo bad that I sent her into a frenzy just 'cuz she found my resume on Monster. :o/ I ended up making my resume unsearchable by employers 'cuz...what do ya know...I got another job lead today. It's so freakin' weird. I guess it's good to know that companies are hiring again.
Does anyone need a job?
