hi there.. i am subscribing to so many job hunting sites like monster, workopolis, careerbuilder, jobstreet, etc. etc. if i dont open my email and a day or two. it gets very overwhelming.. hahahah.. it's like wading thorough alot of mails.. plus i have the mylot notication on.. hahaha... sometimes, unless i trash this after opening, i wont be able to notice friends' emails.. hahhaa.. some of these, i placed a filter that will automatically shoot it in a folder but some, only directly to my inbox so i can remember to open it. how about you?

Set up another email address especially for job alerts! I did because I had the smae problem, and it's so much easier now. That way job stuff goes to one email, and anything personal goes to the other.

no i don't subscribe to job alerts because i've never actually tried to seriously look for a job online. but, i used to subscribe to different alerts and then when i open my email, my inbox has A LOT of new messages and 99% are just alerts. i'm not an email/email forwarding type of person so i used to get more alerts than real emails. it's annoying. i've actually changed my email address years ago because of it. right now, i'm subscribed to only about 3 alerts and even that annoys me! hahah

I usually visit the jobsites directly because am not looking for a full time job now. I follow up monster.com and ratracerebellion.com among others?

I just started with Monster.com. And my "professional-sounding" email address gets all the alerts. I try not to use my personal email for these sites so i don't get spam and such! I hope you don't have your friendster notification on... doesn't it feel good to check several emails and then trash them? I find some enjoyment in that.
