Could this be true? The largest online job hunting site will try the worst possible solution to save as much as $170 million a year, whew. Monster.com will slash off almost 800 jobs? W0ot? How could that be?

Monster Worldwide Inc., the world’s largest network of online job-hunting sites, said it will cut 800 jobs, or 15 percent of its staff, after reporting that second-quarter profit fell. The shares rose 6 percent.

Monster cut its 2007 revenue forecast to $1.34 billion to $1.37 billion, from $1.36 billion to $1.4 billion previously. Analysts projected $1.37 billion, according to the average of 19 estimates in a Bloomberg survey.

So, if these 800 jobless folks left off the monster.com trail, where the heck will they pass on their resumes?
