Monster.com has launched a new online community called MonsterCollege. 

MonsterCollege is dedicated to helping college students and recent grads find the perfect job. This new student experience combines entry level job postings with a college-based networking community with thousands of additional relevant entry level job postings and internships.  

MonsterCollege works with our CareerTrax system to stream current job opportunities into CareerTrax with jobs specifically requested by Purdue University Calumet students and alumni.

PUC’s Office of Career Services and MonsterCollege are providing an efficient way for students and alumni to successfully job search and meet the challenges of the information age.

Additionally, you may want to have a profile and resume in Monster/MonsterCollege in addition to CareerTrax to apply to positions outside of CareerTrax.

Through your CareerTrax account, PUC students and alumni now have additional access to Blogs, Dow Jones News, Comprehensive Integrated Search, Job Board and Social Network Platform Offers Users One-Stop Spot for Career Information.

More than just a database for users to search employment opportunities, Vault’s newly named Career Insider incorporates Web 2.0 strategies that expanded upon popular features from the previous site with new content, improved navigation, optimized functionality and “My Vault,” a customizable social networking style career management portal.

Expanded features include:
