…but the house isn’t quite done yet. It’s a little like that. The new redesign is a fresh coat of paint for old house. We redesigned the job board so it would be more user-friendly. One consistent hit the old-style DegreedJobs always took was that it was characteristically difficult to navigate. So, we brightened it up a bit and streamlined the front page. We placed the Job-Seeker NAV buttons at the top of the page and the seldom-used features buttons near the bottom.  Looking at the bottom you will find, not only an easy link to the blog; but also interactive button to RSS feed DegreedBLOG to your favorite browser. That way, you can have the blog fed right into your homepage (talk about convenient!)  But what about the results? Well, that is where the rubber meets the road. The job board has tripled its traffic and decreased operating expenses. In addition, we have also increased the quality of traffic.  Reading a few posts already, I can see that not everyone agrees…and that’s o.k., too! But, we are listening and I can assure you that we will do everything in our power to make the transition easier for everyone. Thanks and please keep coming back! Oh, by the way…I like the crowd I’ve got. Keep on Bloggin’!

…believe me; it is strange for me too trying to learn a few new tricks. But, in the long run it will be worth it!

Basically, the job board got to a point where we needed to change and evolve. Innovation is not just lip service that business luminaries pay to shareholders; it is a real concept that when implemented yields great results. And, it works on businesses large and small.

I sincerely wish to serve you better and to do that it is necessary for the board (and the blog!) to change a little. We are in the midst of a metamorphasis that will reveal the next stage in our little job board’s life cycle. It is a new beginning.

Please be patient as we grow to create an environment that adds value to your job search efforts. As always, I encourage all viewpoints and keep on bloggin’!

More to come…

 Thanks and have a great day!
