This one is too good not to share....
I could have just soiled myself 20 minutes ago. A position I applied for contacted me via email. Advising the phone number on my resume is out of service etc.
Of course I quickly log in to monster and take a look at my resume. It's an old one from 9 years ago. Half old infor, half new. WTH! I log in frequently enough to know that it wasn't like that yesterday. The only thing I did differently today, than other days, was upload a cover letter to my profile.
I quickly updated the information, logged out, and back in. Phew. All is good again.
What I'd like to know is how did that happen? And is this error a reflection of why I'm not receiving any phone calls?
A story for the books.
Btw, this is not an entry bashing Monster.ca. They provide a great service and knowledgeable information on how to write any type of letter you could imagine. How to ask for a raise, to salary expectations, (which I used today, thank you) and many more learning tools and tips.
Aside from this small weird glitch, I'm happy with Monster.ca & their team!
Yiiikes that SUCKS though. Not the same at all, but one time when I was applying to a bunch of jobs at once, I totally emailed the wrong cover letter to two different jobs. Did not hear back from either. :-/
