About Our Blog
The world of work can be sometimes terrific and sometimes terrible, sometimes crystal clear and sometimes completely confounding, sometimes rewarding and sometimes repugnant (are you sensing a penchant for alliteration?). Searching for your next job and/or career just magnifies all these paradoxes.
As members of the team that creates Monster Career Advice, we spend a lot of time thinking and writing about careers and the pursuit of them. The Monster Blog gives us a chance to write about an array of issues in a free-form style. Sometimes we'll talk about the day's big news stories and sometimes we'll muse about workplace microwave etiquette -- just depends on the day.
Is there something you want to read about in the Monster Blog? Did a post touch or inspire you? Think we're right on -- or out of touch? Let us know at MonsterContentFB (at) monster.com.
About Us
Christine: As a writer, I feel I don't just have a job -- I have a passion. Most people don't do what they do 9-to-5 for fun, even if they have a day off, but writing and editing are in my blood. I've been a journalist, editor and writer for print and online publications for nine years, working on everything from trade magazines to newspapers to a dotcom to a nonprofit. I'm also a voracious reader -- I've been known to get lost in a book or Barnes & Noble -- and love to bowl, roadtrip and be with my lawyer husband.
Norma: When thinking about Mr. Right, there was one prerequisite I couldn't bend on: I wanted a guy who was passionate about his work. I couldn't bear coming home to someone who was angry because he spent too much time on something he didn't care about. So I guess it makes sense that I work at Monster. I've been here about four years. Before that I had a quick stint at another dotcom (jumped ship before it went down), worked for an interior design magazine, paginated personal ads and produced custom textbooks.
When I'm not working, I like movies, books, music, TV -- pretty much anything having to do with pop culture. I also like to spend time with my husband, and yes, he loves his job.
