Retooling our 'jobs' page

Borrowing the idea from the recently-revamped ESPN jobs site, which integrates with Disney's corporate jobs engine, I'm currently retooling my station's jobs page to the more brandable "KUAM Careers". Assuming by the time it launches no one's parked that domain or others like it, it's going to have it's own space on separate web servers due to the fact that it'll be running Ruby on Rails, and won't be an extension of the C#-based CMS I built.

Whereas today's /Jobs page lets candidates review open positions and descriptions, the new system I'm building will maintain Word, PDF and RTF-submitted versions of resumes, and allow talent-oriented job seekers to send in their resume tapes as Quicktime or WMVs. We normally get a ton of traffic to our Jobs page seasonally, so this'll help us out a lot.

Because it's so complex, we're also toying with the idea of opening such a system up to other companies within our enterprise.

Look for it soon!
