www.jobgateway.pa.gov<\/a>), a free, web-based application that matches employers\u2019 needs with the skills job seekers possess. It is offered by the State Department of Labor and Industry, and even gives those who use it the opportunity to practice their interview skills online and share their recorded sessions with others to receive immediate feedback.<\/p>\n\u201cThe website is engaging and forward-thinking,\u201d adds Dr. Welsh. \u201cJobGateway is one of the best sites I\u2019ve seen that offers our graduates tools for every stage of their job search, including tips and job postings. But the most useful tool is the \u201cBig Interview\u201d feature which allows users to interact in a mock video interview that may be played back and shared with others so the job candidate may ask for advice on enhancing their own interview skills.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is just another thing we can do to help ensure our graduates have success in their lives and careers,\u201d said State System Chancellor Frank T. Brogan. \u201cWe\u2019re glad to be partnering with the State in this effort.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another advantage for ESU graduates and the Pennsylvania business community will be that employers may post their job openings on the JobGateway site free of charge. The program will sort and filter potential applicants based on the profile elements included in the job listings; then automatically refer the candidates who best match the posting criteria.<\/p>\n
Job seekers can create and\/or post their resumes on the site, also for free, and automatically receive the job postings that best match their preferences. Once registered, an individual\u2019s information is used to find those matches, typically from among more than 170,000 job openings.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be encouraging our new graduates to visit JobGateway in order to do all they can to put their ESU degree to work for them as they prepare for one of the most important steps of their lives,\u201d added Welsh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
