U.S.Laws May Make Online Job Hunting Harder

Posted by Zonk on from the hunting-down-that-scourge dept.

j00bar writes "CNN/Fortune is reporting that applying for a job online is going to get harder. 'New federal guidelines meant to standardize how employers track data on the diversity of their job-applicant pool are taking effect starting today for jobs at federal contractors -- and similar rules will kick in later this year at U.S. companies with more than 50 employees. And resumes and search approaches that worked perfectly well before may no longer do the trick.'"

  3. OT: job terminals in big box stores by peter303 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Anyone notice all those job kiosks in department and grocery stores? It looks like you type a mini-application into them (typing filters a certain education level) and they call back later. The low-end jobs in some of these stores turns over so much they solicit a continuous supply of application.
