Getting the Job Done for the Job Bank

by Ursula McCoy, Employment Manager

The Southwestern Ontario Chapter's online Job Bank has recently undergone a technical transformation, and emerged with a slick new interface. Employers now have the ability to set up an account, post their own jobs directly from our Web site, and then update or remove their jobs whenever needed. Standard corporate information that is linked to an employer's account is added automatically to any posting they make. This should make it easier for frequent posters (and there are a few!) to post multiple jobs.

Some things are still the same. We track when a position was posted so you know how fresh a posting is. Jobs expire and are automatically removed from the site after a month has passed, unless otherwise requested. And both employers and job seekers are still encouraged to contact the Employment Manager with any questions and suggestions, or even just to have a second pair of eyes review a posting or a resume.

For years, various Web Masters and Employment Managers have dreamed about an automated interface similar to the STC Toronto Job Bank, but kudos go to Opal Gamble, who dedicated her spare time to finally make it happen!
