IBM To Launch Online Job Service

To help fill what it calls the “gap between skilled IT professionals and the increased number of technology jobs,” IBM will introduce an online job-listing service targeting graduates in computer sciences. On the applicant side, the service will be open to students who have passed an IBM Professional Certification test. Those individuals will be able to post resumes as well as access tips on writing resumes and being interviewed. For employers, the site will be open to IBM, its partners, and its clients, who can search the resumes for prospects, sorting them by skills and location. Meanwhile, the company has introduced a doctoral fellowship program as well as an initiative that helps those in technical fields to become math and science teachers.
