The prospect of finding a job after graduation is a growing concern for college students. But a new service on the World Wide Web could make it easier.
Users can either post a job listing or respond to one.
Companies looking for prospective employees can search through the database, limiting their query by criteria such as major, highest degree obtained, language and willingness to travel. Users can enter their resumes directly on the site, and the administrators will automatically format it to be seen on a Web page. In addition, when a company has read the resume of a prospective employee and is interested in hiring him or her, the Job Resource provides e-mail notification. The service originally received resumes from Stanford students but now has gained global attention. In September, about three resumes were posted each day, but currently that number is closer to 17 daily.
