IBM??™s website prompts you to filter your search by region
of the world, and then create a profile inside an elaborate password-protected section in
order to submit your actual resume, all supported by a detailed help section. Smaller companies
might only have a dozen or fewer openings. The design complexity of the list
depends on the number of opportunities you want to advertise.
For most, the directory of job openings is going to be simple. It may be a straight list, or
broken up by departments, or searchable by a few parameters. Whatever the case, each
entry should link to the full description of the job. Take a look at Figure 6-4. The
unadorned listing in the left column is common. The middle column is better, as it lays out
the information in easier-to-read chunks. The right includes an additional level of detail,
including a direct link for application.
Figure 6-4. A job listing can be laid out different ways.
The more effectively the design disseminates the information, the more people will use
the job board. While including a date of publication and a direct link for application are
optional (some companies may not want to show the age of the openings), breaking the
listings apart via department is an excellent way of guiding people to the positions of most
interest.
