2 Opening a My Monster account

From the Monster.co.uk home page click on My Monster in either the black bar at the top of the page or on the small black box half way down the left hand side of the home page. This will take you to the My Monster login page.

Here, click on the sentence that says "click here to create a new account". This will take you through to a short form that you need to fill out in order to register. It will take about 2 minutes to complete.

Any section of this screen that has a red asterisk (*) is a required field and must be completed in order to set up an account.

You can choose your own username and password. Try to be as unique as possible. Monster has such a large number of job seekers so you may find that popular usernames have already been chosen. You can use an email address as your username as this may be easier to remember.

The nick name field is only required if you intend to use the Monster message boards, but you may find it useful to enter this information upon opening an account.

If you wish to be logged in automatically from the computer you are currently working on, choose YES for automatic login. If you choose YES then you will be logged in to your account automatically each time you click on My Monster. PLEASE NOTE: Any person who uses your computer and clicks on My Monster, will then be logged into your account.

You will also be asked if you wish to receive information and updates via email from Monster. These include press releases, information on the growth of Monster, and new features announcements. This is automatically set to "NO" because we do not wish our users to receive unwanted emails. Only people who actively select "YES" will be signed up for this service.

Monster.co.uk does not sell user lists to third parties so, if you choose this service, all resulting communication will come directly from Monster.co.uk

Once you have completed all relevant fields, click Submit. Your account will be set up and you will be taken to your new My Monster home page.

If, when you click "Submit", the Account Creation form appears again, you have probably missed a field or filled in a box incorrectly. A message should appear in red telling you what the problem is. Add or correct the information requested by this message and click "Submit" again.
