Hi all, I just LOVE finding newly redesigned pages!Don't know if this is live 100% of the time or if I randomly stumbled across it this evening but check it out! Impressive as compared to previous versions as of late. They were getting kinda hodge-podgy. (Monster archived pages on the Way Back Machine) Looks like a great new focus on user experience and career focused job seekers. You can get in to search easily and not have to look at all the clutter. (PLEASE PLEASE say they're abolishing and burning those ANNOYINGLY AWFUL in between full page ads when you've hit search and now just want your doggone results!!!) Moving on... Very clean design, somewhat similar to the last design but this one has a much better feel to it, more white space and the eye has the ability to read and not get distracted by ads and random movements. Nice color scheme and funky vertical lines going on, but it works, unless you're a designer bothered by the somewhat tilted lines that you just want to go in and fix in photoshop so you feel better. When I look at it it feels like it promotes a sort of energy... Search at the top is great and right in focus! Clearer and cleaner tabs. I really like it as well as the subtle javascripting. The one "eh" area is the Be the Boss section... I don't quite get that, it doesn't look finished to me. Cool idea on what looks like a "now hiring" featured area but I'm not getting why would I "be a boss" at these featured companies/jobs. But, maybe I'm just not seeing the vision :) Interesting find... "Mr. (Jeff) Fleischman comes to Monster from the American Express (Amex) Company. He served most recently as Amex's Vice President of Interactive Services," (full article). Interesting.
Anywho... Nice improvement! Cheers to an improved design!
