Site: Monster (http://www.monster.com)
Reviewed: December 2003

Overview:

Monster.com is a great resource for job seekers. Many career resources are available on the site, including a typical job search tool. Resources available to the job seeker include resume-writing and cover-letter tips, interviewing techniques, relocation tips, salary information, and even message boards and information on workplace diversity issues.

Accessibility:

Monster.com is marginally accessible. The site is largely text based once the user gets past the initial screens and establishes a search pattern for a job. However, internal frames on each page cause problems for screen readers, and most of the images do not have appropriate alternate text.
