If you haven't checked out IEEE- USA'S online job board and resume referral service lately, you're in for a pleasant surprise. The IEEE-USA Job Service has a new home at http://www.ieeeusa.org/jobs and a fresh, new look to go with it.
Job-seekers can search the data-base right from the first page or click to an advanced search page with full features. And the database now has more than twice the number of jobs as last year, with the total increasing day by day.
The resume service is also one click away, and it's easier now to upload your information into the database where hundreds of major employers will see it.
Employer searches of the database have increased 50 percent in the past three months; your next job could be trying to find you today. The one thing that hasn't changed is the cost. All of our employment services are provided at no charge to IEEE members, proving the adage that the best things in life are free.
There are even more exciting changes coming in the near future that will generate still greater employment opportunities through our service. Be sure to bookmark the site and check back frequently. And happy hunting!

New higher-grade and student member application continue to surge ahead of last year's record numbers. In just the first eight weeks of the calendar year, IEEE has received 3,816 new higher-grade member applications (2,535 of them via the Web) for a 10% increase over the first two months of 1999. Student member applications are showing a more moderate increase of 1.2% over last year. 5,726 student applications have come in in eight weeks, nearly 23% via the web.
Last year, only 14.3% of student applications came in via the web, so the rate of Web usage among prospective Student members is increasing dramatically. If this pace continues IEEE could see nearly 26,000 Web applications in 2000. The web application form can be found at http://www.ieeeusa.org/membership.
