The Anti-Monster Webinar was part 2 in a two part series on job search strategies. The speaker explained in the previous session that when combining the anti-monster strategy with your dynamic network, you have an advantage in the job marketplace. Your dynamic network allows you to find jobs that you would never be able to find online. Anti-Monster means finding jobs that are not listed on Monster.com. The instructor explained that Monster.com classifieds are there for the purpose of recruiting new employees out of school. He told us that many jobs are not listed online and that you must find jobs from within your dynamic network. Creating a web is the only true way to reach you dream job, which is at first disconnected from you. When CEO's and executive staff inverview people for high-profile jobs, they normally are not used to interviewing recent graduates. Their goal is to find candidates that are already established in the field with the goal of offering them something better than their current situation. As a graduate student, I must maintain my goal of becoming established in the research field. I must also begin to build an attractive reputation around me. This network and reputation keeps the thought of me in peoples' minds.
