The Job Search module provides your sites visitors to browse and search jobs, or post their resumes for employers/recruiters to see. It also allows job seekers to apply for jobs. In effect, your site can be a mini monster.com or hotjobs.com.

This handbook page is meant to help end users get this module up and running as fast as possible.

Although this module, can function by itself, you can really maximise its potential by also installing the following modules to expands your site's capabilities:

• CCK - to create your custom job and resume node types
• Views - to can present the jobs in various ways to the users, with drop down selectable lists.
• Location - to setup proximity searches for jobs by zip code, city, or jobs within 25 miles of zip code 90210.
• Scheduler - to have job postings and/or resumes expire after a preset period
• User Points - to haver users pay for posting jobs or resumes
• Ecommerce with EC Role - to have users buy the employer/recruiter role so they are able to post jobs

Please see the README.tx that comes with the module for installation steps.
