ColdFusion Careers - Site is live... Post jobs, Find Jobs and more!

I wanted to announce a quick blur about a new site I just made live and will be pushing... It's titled "ColdFusion Careers"... It's basically a job board around ColdFusion jobs... Previously I talked about what it means to be a ColdFusion developers these days; and with the toughness recruiters and hr firms are having finding ColdFusion developers; I wanted to launch something that is simple and free to use.

You can check out: http://www.coldfusioncareers.com

If you're looking for a new career or just want to put your resume out there; plase add yourself..

I will also be releasing a full API webservice so you can add job searching, applying and more soon to your own sites... Also working on a referal system so if someone gets hired via your web site; you an earn that referral commissions... Sometimes those are like $500.00 per referral.. so it could be a good way for you to earn extra cash!

Anyways, check out the site and let me know what you think...

Jake Munson's Gravatar Very cool, but I have a couple of nitpicks. :)

1. It seems odd to me that you called the site (and the URL) ColdFusion careers, but you have job categories for all kinds of non-ColdFusion jobs.
2. It would be nice to be able to just pick a category to search on, like ColdFusion, and not have to enter a search term. I tried this and I got this JS error: "please enter a value for: -q", which I assume means I need to enter a keyword.

Pablo Varando's Gravatar Mark, Gus, I think it was a DNS propagation issue; i think you were hitting
the development environment; let me know if it works now.

Jake,
On item #1 - As I mentioned on a previous post; ColdFusion developers are
no longer just that; most have other skills that take them above and
beyond. By adding additional categories, they can find positions that best
match them by their likes and strengths. Does that make sense? So sense the primary skill is ColdFusion, the additional categories allow for the "extras" that make each of us different in the field.

As for #2, I made keyword searching required for a few reason; the biggest is once the site has a lot of jobs posted; it will ensure quicker response, etc... I will however look into changing it; since I like the idea of just picking a category and then hitting go :) Thanks!
