What are resume views?

Each Monster Resume Search product allows for a specific number of resume views. A resume view is counted each time you view a complete resume when you conduct a resume search. Views are only counted during resume searches. Once you save a resume to a folder, you can view it as many times as you like without incurring additional views. You will most likely never exceed your resume views during the duration of your resume search access.
