My Review 

I used to visit this site periodically, a few years back - with minimal job search 'success' (loosely stated). Presently, a FEW state offices DO refer veterans and civilians to submit a resume & profile.

During my personal, RECENT experience, I do not recommend it.

Upon attempting to log back into my (old) account, not only would it no longer accept my old password (I had never changed it), but when I selected "reset", up popped a page asking me to verify (answer) my three (3) "security answers". Only ONE of them applied to me! The third "answer" regarded a comic book hero. I did not read comics as a kid, so where they deemed that "answer" from my supposed profile password reset, I have no idea.

Then I opted to do a complete password reset. A message appeared telling me to "watch my email, it should arrive in a few minutes". It never did. I even refreshed my email, and STILL no password reset message. And NO, it did not end up in my bulk/spam folder.

This site is a joke. Obviously it is not maintained. In fact, upon conducting a Google search, alongside Yahoo and another search domain, the reviews I read were just as I figured: Very poor.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

No
