<h1 style="text-align: center;">FEATURE# 3260 - careers</h1>
<h2>[what]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] Careers - our 'job/career' search feature is designed to help you 'streamline' and 'automate' the processes involved in finding and applying for jobs/careers that 'interest' you. You can search multiple job listing sites, easily create and save lists of 'the jobs' that you want to 'apply to' and manage the jobs that you have 'applied to'.</li>
<ol>
<li>] <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1uo_0TzujoAofN4JsI0Mtir-wuD5LHYdwXOm-LnW0aEc/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">milestone 1</a> - &nbsp;eta 50 hours - due: 2014-01-20-09:00&nbsp;</li>
</ol></ol>
<h2>[where]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] ideally ...</li>
<ol>
<li>] An automated system that 'continually' searches for 'jobs' by the customized 'job type' and 'search parameters' that you specify.</li>
<li>] Makes it easy to review job details, select and organize the jobs that you want to &lsquo;apply to&rsquo; &hellip;</li>
<li>] Makes it easy to manage and track the jobs that you have &lsquo;applied for&rsquo;, the responses that you receive, the contacts that you make and the follow up actions that you will need to take.</li>
<li>Makes it easy(facilitates) the job application process VIA: a number of third party 'job postings' sites</li>
<li>The 7 features listed in the milestone - 001 above, won't quite get this service to that level but we think it will provide, some of that functionality and a good foundation to build upon.</li>
</ol></ol>
<h2>[why - features - milestone 001]</h2>
