Follow the progress and development of the Australian owned, designed and developed Careers OnLine from these pages...
September 2004 - Job Seeker's Workshop Updated
Not only updated... but it now has its own web site!!!
Check out the new Job Seeker's Workshop web site... with the ability for you to download all the material for you to work through at your won pace off the 'net!
June 2003 - Yet Another Server Move... and a timely redesign
Well... while we're still running our own server (got a variety of clients hosted on it) the traffic costs of hosting a popular and very busy service like Careers OnLine in Australia have proven far too expensive!
So, COL's now hosted in the US on servers provided by Powweb.com, and is sporting a new look to celebrate the move!
April 2002 - Another Server Move...
Yep... after almost seven years, we finally got our "own" web server, and moved the site over tuit! Hope it makes things a little easier and faster for everyone.
Now if only I could understand UNIX? :)
1 March 2001 - Another Brave New World...
We've developed a brand new site designed to meet the online recruitment needs of small to medium businesses. It's called JobsPLUS... and our Vacancy Notices are still FREE!
Archived Snapshots...
4 February, 1997 - COL named as one of Best in the World!
Careers OnLine was one of only two Australian sites rated among the Top 100 Recruiting sites on the Web and has received an Excellence in the Electronic Recruiting Industry award from the Electronic Recruiting Index! Only two Aussie sites won from over 3,500 contenders worldwide! Congrats to the other Aussie winner Contractors Direct.
According to IBN (the award organisers) EERI award winners "demonstrate design excellence, market savviness, and the future of the industry". They believe Careers OnLine is "demonstrating the future and potential of the Internet as a Recruiting tool". Wow!
For more details, see our press release.
8th August, 1996 - We've hit the MILLION and a HALF mark!!!
Wow!... in just over eight and a half months since our "official" launch in November 1995, Australia's Careers OnLine has provided over 1,500,000 requests for information from people all around the world!
5 months - 22nd November to 20th April - first 500,000 requests.
2 months - between the 20th April and 23rd June another 500,000 requests - now 1 million total!
6 weeks - from 23rd June to 8th August - another 500,000!
(time for reflection...) I remember we got excited when we served up 5,000 hits in a day... last week we served over 96,000! This is what it's all about!
August 23rd, 1995 - Careers OnLine goes on line!
After several months of writing and testing, a new Internet Careers service goes on line! Careers OnLine is now available for the public to access via the World Wide Web.
Careers OnLine features a variety of "self discovery" activities to guide people through the processes of:
- choosing a career appropriate to them;
- finding out information about the training required for work; and
- applying for jobs.
Careers OnLine also provides extensive links to other careers related web sites across Australia and around the world!
