Since you didn't specify a profession, industry, or location, these are some general options for you that are "similar" to Monster:
* Indeed.com - http://www.indeed.com
This site is a central source for finding job opportunities. Indeed is a "job aggregator" which collects jobs from job sites (like Monster, HotJobs, and CareerBuilder, but NOT Craigslist) as well as from employers, newspapers, etc., so you go to one central place to search for the jobs and cover more sites than you even know about.
Search on the kind of job you want (carpenter, sales associate, vice president of marketing) and the location in the U.S. - city, state, or Zip. Then you can sort by full-time, part-time, contract, etc. You can also save your search to have results e-mailed to you even when you don't visit the site.
* SimplyHired - http://www.simplyhired.com
Another job aggregator site, very similar to Indeed. Not quite as good as Indeed, in my experience, but worth checking.
* JobCentral - http://www.jobcentral.com/
Very similar to Monster in how you search, but owned and opperated by a collection of employers.
* HotJobs - http://hotjobs.yahoo.com
From Yahoo, HotJobs is a very large job site.
* America's Job Bank - http://www.ajb.org
Owned by the U.S. Department of Labor and run by Monster. Employers can post their jobs here for free directy or through their local state Employment Offices. Being phased out during the summer of 2007.
OTHER SITES - NOT similar to Monster, but very (maybe MORE) useful:
* Craigslist.org - http://www.craigslist.org/
This is the one specified the most often in the last year as the site someone used to successfully find a job.
Craigslist is a giant online classifieds site, broken up by location. There are "jobs" and "gigs" (project assignments). There are over 400 locations/craigslist.org sites, so pick your location from the list of links on the right side of the home pages, and browse through the lisings - which are posted in reverse chronological order (newest at the top, oldest at the bottom).
For some tips on using Craigslist, see Guide to Using Craigslist to Find a job - http://www.job-hunt.org/onlinejobsearchguide/article_guide_to_craigslist.shtml
* Job-Hunt.org - http://www.job-hunt.org/
Job-Hunt will help you identify possible employers and also job search networking and support groups to help you with your networking.
Job-Hunt links to over 8,300 employers and job search resources, including over 6,300 job sites and employers by state - online classifieds from local newspapers as well as links to the various Craigslist sites, state and local government jobs, colleges and universities, the state Employment Offices, and many, MANY other employers.
MORE OPTIONS:
* CareerBuilder - http://www.careerbuilder.com
If you don't care how much spam you get as a result of registering a resume or applying for a job, CareerBuilder may actually be the largest job site. Very similar to Monster but fewer obnoxious ads to wade through to get to your search results.
* CareerJournal - http://www.careerjournal.com
A site from The Wall Street Journal that has jobs for executives and senior managers. Unlike most which target that group of job seekers, CareerJournal doesn't charge job seekers to use it.
* SeniorJobBank - http://www.seniorjobbank.org
A site for people over 50 with jobs posted by employers who want applicants that age.
There are literally tens of thousands of job sites. Many are very good. Some are scams. Check the RileyGuide or Job-Hunt for more options by industry, profession, and/or location.
Good luck with your job search!

Besides Monster, there are a few other all-purpose job search sites that I've used:
www.hotjobs.com
www.careerbuilder.com
www.jobs.com
Also, if you'd rather search someplace more specific, some cities have their own sites, like www.bostonjobs.com . Another thing I've done is to do a search on a specific city's newspaper, which often has a lot of job listings.
Best of luck!

Go to yahoo yellow pages and find companies in your field in your geographical area. Call them up, ask for human resources and ask if you can fax over your resume and to who's attention. Call that person in week It's an excellent way to get a job provided you listed a specific job like sales trainee, payroll assistant or whatever. Vague resumes get thrown away. You can also look and post on www.craigslist.org
