While that may bring a smile to the collective face of the industry and the stock market, the stats are small comfort to a pinkslipped tech worker who has a mortgage to pay and a family to support. Of course, the usual course of action for the unemployed nowadays is to register with every job board possible and network with friends and associates. Steve Pieczko experienced the waiting game himself when he was laid off as a Solutions Director of Application Development for SecurityLink from Ameritech. Pieczko says the site's goal is to reduce the waiting game down to 2 hours and help unemployed tech works get back to work, by connecting them with job recruiters. No jobs, resumes, interviewing tips, job fairs, etc. will be found on the site.
Recruiters register and provide the region and job category of their specialty.
Unemployed individuals provide the same basic information including contact information. The site is free to the unemployed and is not specific to any region or job category. In fact, the site is free to recruiters until May 2001. InternetNews Radio Copyright 2001 INT Media Group, Incorporated All Rights Reserved.
