People need to save themselves and their employers time and money by knowing when to say yes and when to say no to a job offer. The Internet is the perfect tool to empower employees to get information and connect with others to make smart career decisions. The site, which is accessible for free, contains more than 175,000 links to career resources and publishes the most comprehensive and current research available about online job seeking.
