I like the clean design. I also like the concept. I had done something similar with pen and paper during my searches, but it never quite kept me up with who I had talked to and when.

Is there a feature to remind the job seeker of upcoming interviews?

I'm not sure about the "selling" of the site right off the bat. This is a good niche to be in for revenue. Possibly you can match seekers with jobs proactively, let contextually relevant ads and targeted banners serve up high-paying clicks and impressions. Then find a way to charge for "premium" services.

What language/framework did you use to create the site?




In a way, there is a feature to remind the job seeker of upcoming interviews. You can associate a date with a job opportunity's next action, then subscribe to the ical feed of all your next actions.

One thing that would really feel more confident about holding onto the site and making money with it would be to have some kind of marketing plan. Right now I'm just contacting bloggers, and I'm not sure how far that will get me.

I used Ruby on Rails to create the site and jquery for the front end.
