" Buzz,

I wanted to let you know how happy I have been with Chattanoogahasjobs.com. I have received over 100 resumes for my postings I have put on the site. I have had wonderful candidates come into my office from this site. It has paid for itself already this year. This has been a wonderful addition to my advertising budget that I do not mind having. Another thing that I really like is that it is very easy and convenient. I do not have time to sit for 30 minutes and do a posting and this really cuts down on time. It is very efficient."

" Rod, Thank you! I wanted to share this success story with you and thank you again for posting our CFAO opening on careerlink.com. Looking forward to doing more good work together!"

" Just wanted to let you know that Trinity Hospice just hired our first candidate straight from you website. I absolutely love working on the job postings and being able to create a library of job descriptions. Your website saves me each time I post something. Not only in money but the time it takes to pull from the library, post the position, review the candidates and then close the posting is just awesome.

I also wanted to thank you for checking in on us from time to time and giving me a little helpful tidbit each time you call. You’re not only the only Buzz that I know but you are the only sales guy that I actually have fun speaking to.

Thanks again for helping me find something this great,"

" This site is an amazing asset to anyone looking for a job! I have been on this site every day for the past two months, reading listings,applying for positions and then posting my resume when that option became available. I have had several interviews with companies that I applied to through careerlink and took a position with one just this week.

The details in the listings, the variety of ways to search for a job, the ability to jump to the employer’s website from the listing made the search considerably less labor-intensive than it would have been otherwise. I sent resumes/applied for fifteen openings, interviewed for three of those and now have a job that I am very excited about, all thanks to careerlink.com.

I never would have known about almost any of those openings if it weren’t for this site. Thank you so much!!"

" The site is working like gang-busters… We posted a position just yesterday and already have 10 inquires!! Thanks!"

" Laura, You all are so far ahead of the curve. I was asking Monster and Career Builder for this (a new KATRINA symbol to add to any posting at our discretion) a week ago. They still haven’t given us anything!"

" Careerlink continues to be good to me. Of the 7 new hires I brought on, 6 originated from Careerlink."

" I think your site is great and I found employment through it after only 3 days."

" I just wanted to compliment you on your jobslink website. Over the years I have applied for jobs on the site and have been successful in acquiring 2 jobs (one which I currently have and enjoy). Thanks so much for providing such a great service to those looking for jobs. You literally changed my life!"

" Hello! I have a success story. I was laid off from my current job on July 1, 2003. I was devasted because of the bills that were going to get behind due to my unemployment. I looked in the job ads in the newspaper, but didn’t find anything suitable, so I tried the internet, and came across careerlink.org. I registered with careerlink.org and sent my resume on July 16, I was called in for an interview on July 18, and this week on (July 22) I have a job!!! (I start Monday July 28) I want to thank you for having such a great service for helping people find the jobs they need. If I ever get laid off again in the future, I will certainly turn to careerlink.org."

" I’m actually very pleased with Chattanoogahasjobs.com. I’ve received several call backs about jobs and as well as going to interviews for positions within the area. The website really helps out those who are searching for a job in chattanooga and abroad. Thanks for all the help."

" Chattanoogahasjobs.com website has been a tremendous asset to the workforce in our area. It provides the job seeker 24 hour access to the most current job openings. I certainly enjoy how the website advertises my job readiness workshops through the Career Fairs webpage. When a client and I search open positions, chattanoogahasjobs.com is the very, very, very FIRST website we go to. Thanks for your EXCELLENT service!!!"

" We did hire from an applicant that saw the ad on your site. Your site was very helpful in our search for a good candidate. Thank you for your help."

" We were extremely happy with the response from the Chattanooga and surrounding areas. We did fill the nurses position from the advertisement."

" (ChattanoogaHasJobs.com is) indeed very helpful and I have it marked under my favorite web sites. I like the site very much. We found a lot of good information we needed for our move to the area."

" We have been very pleased with the service and response we get from Careerlink. I have not yet found a more effective tool for hiring quality staff anywhere else in Nebraska."

" The response from the website listing (for Athletic Trainer) was great! I have managed to find someone who is going to help me with the business. Thanks for everything."

" We filled our position we posted (for an Office Manager) with an applicant who applied via your site. Thank you very much for this service."

" I was overwhelmed with the response after posting an ad on your web-site. In just days I had received over seventy resumes. I will certainly use your service again when searching for new employees."

" The results from the ad posting were outstanding. I made a quality hire for our Sales Associate as a direct result of the ad on ChattanoogaHasJobs.com. Thank you."

" I am VERY happy with the system. Out of the 29 responses we received (for a Staff Engineer position), 14 were qualified and 4 were very qualified. That is an outstanding ratio. I will use your service again as we continue to grow."

" Due to your Web page, I accepted an offer for an ideal job in my area and salary range! I couldn’t have found this without your help. Just wanted to say thanks for the posting!"

" Careerlink has enhanced the University’s recruiting process, and assisted in attracting qualified regional and national administrative and faculty candidates."

" I wanted to provide this brief testimonial about how much my program has benefited from using careerlink.org in finding employees.

The last three people that I have hired have come as a result of careerlink. I have only been a subscriber for three weeks, but the amount of qualified candidates that I was able to reach was wonderful. Two of the three employees are as a result of using your resume database to find the right person for my openings. I was able to look at many different resumes of people looking for a job in my industry -- childcare. The tool to add resumes to a favorites list helped me to track the progress that I had made on each employee. The most recent addition to my program came from a teacher looking for jobs in the childcare field. She used it to find out what jobs were available and sent me a resume via e-mail. As soon as I found the e-mail, I was able to contact her, set up an interview, and offer her the job. She accepted. My subsciption so far as been invaluable as it has given me the confidence to eliminate my print advertising all together if I choose to do so.

I would highly recommend careerlink to others in the childcare field as well as other fields of occupation.

Thank you careerlink!"

" I have been swamped with resumes which was definitely a plus! I was able to fill my vacant position (Customer Support Analyst) fairly quickly. I will certainly use your site again in the future."

" It’s been great! The call center has hired all of its employees since we started using Spokanehasjobs. We have hired good quality people from the site."

" I have hired two new employees from the same ad! This makes the third employee we’ve hired from your site. I will always use ChattanoogaHasJobs.com for all my hiring ads."

" This summer alone I have hired 2 tellers from KCHASJOBS!"

" I love it, we have had phenomenal responses. The last ad we put up had 35 responses, even better than what we get from the newspaper. It is nice to get the jobs immediately up on the site and not having to fax the opening in, I can do it by myself and make any changes. We have had very good luck and a lot of responses. I like being able to pull the jobs when we have had enough responses to the position."

" I like the site, it’s easy to put the jobs on. It’s real good, it is easier to have the applications on-line then on paper, because I can just forward them to the head office by email."

" We have received a lot of response from the site."

" It is very easy to use. I like looking at the statistics and the resumes, viewing the responses is pretty cool too."

" When I moved back to Chattanooga from Europe, I was well pleased to find Chattanoogahasjobs.com. Of the web-sites I visited in Chattanooga seeking employment, Chattanoogahasjobs.com was by far the most impressive. There is a position here for everyone. The data base of employers is very impressive and they are looking--maybe for you!"

" Your website is very easy to use and has absolutely THE FASTEST RESPONSE TIME OF ANY WEBSITE I’VE EVER USED. WHAT A PLEASANT AND WORTHWHILD SURPRISE. My complements to your website builder/operater."

" I am referring all the people who I know who are job-seeking to your site. I think it is the best job resource in Chattanooga and I have been sharing that with the HR people I know."

" Once again I was successful in filling a job position with an applicant who responded to the job posting on "Chattanoogahasjobs.com". This medium is working great for our Firm when looking for new employees ! ! ! !"

" Your site is the best one I have seen so far on the Kansas City job scene! I live in Muscatine, Iowa and am considering relocating to the Kansas City area. Several family members live there already."

" "I found the site through the Chamber homepage and was able to scan multiple job listings at once, many of which were not listed in the local paper. I sent in my resume and was hired a week later. I highly recommend Spokanehasjobs.com for any professional looking to relocate to Spokane.""

" [ChattanoogaHasJobs.com is] great, especially for someone coming from out of town. The way it’s lined up you can go pretty specifically and pretty quickly to what you’re looking for."

" Thank you so much for this site. I found the perfect job in Chattanooga. I could never thank you enough. Thanks!"

" We filled our intern position using our posting on ChattanoogaHasJobs.com! The student is attending Southern Adventist University - majoring in graphics design - and started this week. We actually had two great applicants from SAU in addition to several other applications."

" We are fortunate that you and the Chamber made this recruitment option available. We are pleased with the exposure and happy with the results."

" It is great that job-seekers and employers in rural areas such as Rhea County can access the same on-line services available to urban residents. The Chattanooga Chamber web site is one of the first resources offered to Dayton Regional Career Center customers. It is so user friendly that even novice computer users have been able to successfully utilize the site."

" Our response from your site has been terrific!!!! We have received SO many resumes!!!! Actually of the final four candidates, 3 came from ChattanoogaHasJobs.com. It was a terrific response!!!! Thanks so much!"

" I have just reviewed job listings at the Chamber’s Chattanooga has Jobs web site. This is a wonderful resource. I am a school counselor in a local middle school and I plan to use the information on this site with students. It will,I believe, help them to understand the importance of preparing for opportunities that will be available to them in the future.

Thanks to the Chamber for this great resource!"

" I wanted to write and thank you, your staff, and the Chamber members for the very valuable service provided by the Chamber’s web-site, <b>and especially for ’ChattanoogaHasJobs",</b> located there. I found my job with the Graphics/National at the site and feel fortunate to have had such a resource at my disposal. I constantly tell others to utilize this benefit, too. Since I believe that ’no good deed should go unpunished’, I wanted you to know how very much I appreciate the results - I literally found a <i>dream job!</i>"

" ODI is up and running, and we are definitely utilizing the site. Today I received a resignation at about 2 P.M. By 3 o’clock we had pulled the job description, drafted an ad and begun the posting process. At 4:17 P.M. - just two hours after the resignation - we had our first resume. And the candidate has respectable qualifications. Thanks to you and the Chamber!"

" For professional level positions, we use careerlink first before any other media. Careerlink is much more flexible than other forms of advertising - we can get our jobs posted quickly and remove them quickly when they are filled."

" The Blair Community Schools have found CareerLink to be one of our most effective tools in the recruitment of teachers for our District. This year we filled 24 positions and had applications from California to New York, in addition to several foreign countries. We would not have had this type of exposure without the services provided by AIM and CareerLink. In fact, I just received an inquiry from a teacher in Isa Town, Bahrain today. We hired a teacher from Japan earlier this year who found our ad on Career Link. Well over one third of the inquiries we have had for teaching positions have come to us as a result of our posting of positions via the internet!"

" This is a wonderful site! I’ve just recently relocated here from the Seattle/Tacoma area and have found your site to be the best possible way to find work in the Omaha area. Very informative, yet easy to use! Keep up the good work!"

" "As many of the more progressive metropolitan areas across the nation have developed similar capacity, I believe this allows our City to best utilize available technology to support the most immediate needs of job providers and job seekers. This web site is a wonderful complement to the one Stop Career Center System that we are building in our area. One of the main functions of the Career Center Systen is to provide universal access to employers and job seekers to post listings and/or conduct automated job search. We will bookmark the Chamber site and make it available through our Career Centers""

" As I watched the demonstration of Chattanoogahasjobs.com, I immediately thought it would be an excellent avenue for our students, leaving their studies or graduation, to make information about themselves available to potential employers."

" I am pleased to inform you that the UTC Placement & Student Center has linked the Chamber’s Chattanoogahasjobs.com web site to our home page. I feel that this will be a very useful job search link for our students and alumni seeking positions in the Chattanooga area. The program is very user friendly and seems to work well. I attended the presentation on this program for the Chattanooga Chamber and feel that this is a great way for local employers to advertise their positions."

" As an industry leader and rapidly growing company, Excell Agent Services has consistently relied on an internet presence to help meet our ever changing needs. Our partnership with the AZ Chamber of Commerce and Arizonahasjobs.com has provided us this presence, while also allowing for ease of use and access to many on-line features. We look forward to continued growth as a company, and the benefits provided by further development of our internet partnership with the AZ Chamber and Arizonahasjobs.com."

" Just wanted to say thanks for providing such a great service online...applying for jobs has never been easier. Any way I can help people understand how simple and easy your web-site is I pass it along to all who will listen. I know all the employees at Career-Link are making progress. It certainly shows when you pull up the web page. Again Keep up the FANTASTIC Job and I will keep coming back for more."

" Through ongoing regional business support, FargoHasJobs uses the latest technology to bring qualified job candidates to your desktop. With increased competition for the best people, FargoHasJobs offers your organization an opportunity to reach more potential employees while leveraging your investments."

" I used a search engine to find information on employment options in Fargo. It linked me to the FargoHasJobs web page. This turned out to be quite helpful as I was able to look at a number of companies’ job postings in one place. I submitted my resume on-line to SEI Information Technology ...I have been employed by SEI for nearly a year now."

" We believe FargoHasJobs is an innovative, accessible, far-reaching option for our recruiting strategy."

" FargoHasJobs offers organizations premier recruitment opportunities in addition to stimulating local business and economic development. FargoHasJobs allows communities to publicize job opportunities to a previously untapped market"

" I have found FargoHasJobs to be a very beneficial part of our recruiting process. A recent job posting produced approximately 50 internet applications, about 30 of these resumes coming from out of the area. I would encourage both employers and potential candidates to discover the opportunities that FargoHasJobs can offer."

" Thanks for having the service available. It’s a great service for people who want to work in Nebraska."

" You probably do not hear this much, thank you for the opportunities. This site opens up the world to me. Again, thank you."

" We have gotten tremendous out of state exposure to our listings on CareerLink. For one position, the top four candidates responded from outside of Nebraksa!"

" The fourth day that the Jobslink site went up I posted for a sales position for our Nashville operations. I received a total of 10 resumes for the position from the site and we have offered the position to one of those candidates. I was pleased with the immediate response as well as the quality of canididates that responded. It was great to see that all the resumes that I received reflected candidates that were currently located in Nashville or were planning to move to Nashville.

This was spectacular. The last time we hired for such a position the price tag was $13,000.

Congratulations and thanks to the Nashville Chamber for creating such a strong community tool for local businesses."

" The resumes that I have received from JobsLink have been excellent. Job seekers from Florida to California who have targeted Nashville as a relocation destination submitted resumes for our position. These job seekers would never have connected to our open position if it weren’t for JobsLink! A community based on-line job system is a powerful recruiting tool."

" Incredible functionality on your site! I love these newly added features for submitting comments! Keep up the good work!"

" I was extremely happy to see how easy it was to post and maintain a job on your site. The customer service, training, and sales staff were incredible helpful. Now I have all the time in the world to hone my bass fishing techniques. Thanks again"

" The person we hired did come through CareerLink and was about as close a match as you could ask for!!! From that standpoint, I would use CareerLink again in an instant."

" We have filled our intern position. Our candidate applied through CareerLink. Thanks for your help. You brought us a large number of applicants and we found some very well-qualified individuals in the group."

" We searched the CareerLink database and found Patti s resume while recruiting for a LAN Systems Manager. Here are her thoughts re: using CareerLink:

• Most IT people know that positions are listed on-line vs. the newspaper;
• Prospective employers can e-mail you and that is usually more discreet than phone calls and faxing resumes;
• You can look at information on the company with links from that Web site;
• There is usually a good job description on the site.

"

" While living in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area in Texas, I began planning a move to Omaha, Nebraska. I chose the internet as the most logical vehicle to assist my job search. After performing one of my initial searches on the internet for Omaha jobs, I found CareerLink. It proved to be the most informative and up-to-date employment listing and was also easy to use. In addition to the actual job listing, the website also provides good, detailed information on each job; therefore, narrowing down the actual jobs I would qualify for/or be interested in. I communicated with at least 10 15 companies over a span of 2 months before being hired by Commercial Federal Bank. I am a truly satisfied customer of CareerLink and would recommend the website to others seeking employment in Nebraska."

" I can t say enough about CareerLink! I have found it to be an excellent way to recruit qualified individuals. Within the last six months, I have hired eight people directly from the site. I have filled quite a variety of positions as well, including executive assistants, payroll assistant, commercial bankers, business analysts and a LAN support manager.

Recruiting qualified individuals in a tight labor market, such as Omaha, is challenging enough. CareerLink provides employers with an effective tool that is a must in today s world of recruitment. Not only can we post positions and have candidates apply on line, we have the opportunity to search a resume database. Although a majority of the individuals are local, we have hired individuals from as far away as California and Texas. In addition, we receive resumes from all over the world.

I would encourage any employer in Omaha to take advantage of CareerLink."

" I would like to greatly thank you and all involved in creating and maintaining the CareerLink web site for Nebraska. It is a wealth of information for people trying to find employment in the state, especially Omaha. I took a position with a software company in Omaha. I did not find it directly through the CareerLink web site, however, I never would have been able to make as confident a decision without your web site. I interviewed with several companies on the CareerLink’s site and had an offer from a couple of them, so your work did directly benefit me. Thank you for all the information. I grew up in Nebraska and have lived the last couple years in San Diego. I’m happy to be moving back and this web site made a world of difference in being able to find a job from San Diego so it is waiting for me when I get to Omaha. Good job and keep up the good work!"

" I want to commend the AIM Institute for the Nebraska CareerLink web site! I relocated to Omaha a few months ago and found this site very helpful. I wish all cities had the convenience of a career-oriented web site!"

" CareerLink has been a tremendous help, I applied for two jobs on your web site and had interviews with both companies. One company offered me the job, and I am awaiting a response from the other one. These were jobs that were not posted with the World Herald...I couldn’t have done it without CareerLink."

" CareerLink was quite helpful in my decision to return to Nebraska. After being away from Nebraska for a while, my impression of the job market here was not that encouraging, but after seeing all the postings on CareerLink, my impression has changed."

" I am very happy with results so far. We filled an IT position faster than normal!!!. I really appreciate the capability to look at the hits on our page. It s quite exciting. Thanks!"
