An Equity-Based Job Search Site with Heart Creates a Quiet Revolution in Public Problem Solving

Abstract

The New Jersey Career Network is designed to take the best of in-person job search support and deliver it online and on-demand, providing manageable, sequential and tailored tasks to steer job seekers undertaking the arduous process of searching and applying for meaningful work. Finding a job�in either a familiar or new sector�is a significant challenge. Many online solutions present copious information about everything from what to wear to interviews to the best websites for listings, and the New Jersey Career Network hopes to coordinate with some of them. Job seekers don�t lack access to information; rather, they often find the amount of information�and identifying a personalized path through it�crushing.
