On Nov. 30, Acting Gov. Kim Guadagno and Labor Commissioner Hal Wirths launched a new job-search engine at the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development’s Jobs4Jersey.com to help people find jobs.

According to a press release, Jobs4Jersey.com is part of the Department of Labor and Workforce Development’s emphasis on job assistance. The free Internet website, which was created earlier this year to guide job-seekers and employers through the maze of state and federal services, now offers a unique tool to help people find new careers.

Called OnRamp, the new job-search engine allows job-seekers to go online to quickly upload a resume or create a customized resume, even for industries where resumes were traditionally not used.

Visitors to Jobs4Jersey.com can use OnRamp to have their skills showcased to thousands of employers and access job opportunities listed on 2,400 websites with one search.

Through OnRamp, New Jersey job-seekers may:

 Receive email alerts on job matches, and customize how those alerts are received when employers post new jobs matching a job-seeker’s skills and experience.

 Move their search beyond job titles by having the search engine list skills and knowledge outside a work history, such as experiences from volunteer work.

 Learn how to improve the chances of being noticed by employers by following onscreen guidelines on improving a resume and a job search.

Jobs4Jersey.com’s OnRamp tool is an interactive system that permits job-seekers to regularly update their resume and job searches. The system allows customers to create a profile for employers to review, and it allows them to create multiple job searches – customizing each one by geography, salary, industry or keywords that will attract prospective employers.

According to the press release, to date, approximately 30,000 people have registered on the job-search engine to search for employment and nearly 24,000 of them have loaded a resume. Through an anonymous customer survey conducted through the system, nearly 200 users said they received an interview for system generated jobs; approximately 100 respondents said they have been offered jobs through OnRamp.
