eSight's Job Alert
September 30, 2002
Volume 2, Issue 27
There are 10 job postings and 1 Job Fair announcement
included in this week's Job Alert.
Many of you have expressed interest in telecommuting
jobs today you'll find several of them for you to
investigate.
You can move from job posting to job posting by
searching for the star "*" symbol.
eSight has just developed a new tool that allows you
to sort all the job postings currently available on
eSight by country, state and city. This new tool is
easy to use and access.
Here is all you need to do:
1. Log on to eSight (http://www.eSight.org).
2. Go to Main Menu and select the link "eSight's Job
Postings."
3. Use the drop-down boxes to organize current Job
Postings.
4. View the job postings that you select (a new
browser window will open for you to view them).
5. Return to your search results by closing the window.
Notice that the drop-down menus present only those
countries, states and cities where there is a
corresponding job posting in eSight's database. Check
back often because this is a dynamic tool and will
automatically add new selections to the drop-down
menus as new job postings are added.
The second new tool, which eSight has just launched
allows you to post jobs that you would like to let
other eSight members know about. You'll find it by
first choosing the link "eSight's Job Postings" from
the Main Menu. Then select the link "Post a position"
at the bottom of the page titled, "Search eSight's Job
Postings."
As an added bonus, there is currently no fee to use
this job posting service. So please pass the word to
all your contacts who are seeking talented candidates
for their job openings.
You can send me your feedback on these new features.
It helps us to know if we are on the right track.
