Most people have heard of Monster.com, it is arguably the most widely used job search engine out there. But if you're an environmental job seeker, looking for jobs on Monster has become a lot more difficult. Earlier this year, Monster fixed something that wasn't broken, and restructured their job search categories. The result? Monster eliminated it's Environmental category altogether! Instead, it dispersed hundreds of environmental jobs, burying them into one or two functional areas that are too specific for your "average" environmental job seeker, leaving said job seekers frustrated while browsing for career opportunities. This has forced companies like Triumvirate to post in less-than-relevant categories that environmental job seekers would not intuitively search in. For example, we were advised by our sales representative to post in the "Engineering" section. While our firm does do some engineering, none of our open positions are in this area...and unless you're an environmental engineer, you would'nt even be looking in that area!
While the world looks for ways to get greener and more job seekers than ever are pursuing careers in these fields, Monster has taken a step in the opposite direction. So what's a job seeker to do? My best advice is to voice your concerns to Monster.com. We're working on joining with other environmental companies to do just that. Hopefully we'll see changes soon, meanwhile use sites like CareerBuilder, which does have an Environmental industry option, and Indeed to find the careers you're seeking.
