Contract & Temporary Jobs are on the Rise
Ever thought about packing in your permanent job for a contract or temporary placement? The flexibility combined with the 321% increase in contract & temporary jobs posted on Monster since last year makes it a great time to search non-permanent jobs!

To enable you to maximise these opportunities, Monster has launched a Contract & Temporary Community. The community includes a quick job search, profiles on featured employers, career and industry advice, and a forum where you can network with industry professionals.

Find Jobs Faster
One of the most frequent pieces of feedback we receive from jobseekers such as you is that jobs advertised in different locations and categories appear multiple times in the search results. In an effort to improve the process of searching for your dream job we will be showing each job only once in the search results. This will enable you to view fewer ads more productively, see/find/apply to more relevant ads more quickly and prevent you from applying to the same job multiple times.

Make Working From Home Work for You
Most of us, at one time or another (usually on a dark, wet Monday morning), have probably thought how fantastic it would be to work from home. No cold commute, a slow start, no need to get out of your dressing-gown till lunchtime…But what's the reality of working from home, and is it something that would really work for you?

From Public to Private Sector

Monster Member dellouise wrote: I currently work for the local government but want to move over to the private sector. The only problem is that I can't seem to find a job that I am able to do in the public sector, as what I do now seems quite specialised. Any advice?

Quick tip

Emailing Your CV

When you send your CV electronically, always follow the employer’s directions. If the employer does not provide a preference, paste your plain-text cover letter and resume in the body of the email message and attach the Word document (.doc or .rtf). If the employer has a problem downloading the attachment, he will still have the plain-text information from your email.
