Every year thousands of students graduated from universities in different specializations, and start seeking for a job. However, searching for a job could be a
time consuming process. Lack of communication between the private and public sector and educational institutions leaves the students uninformed about job and
internships opportunities and the companies /organizations /government
agencies
unaware of potential employees in the market.
Conventional methods for searching and applying for jobs and internships, such as
newspaper ads, are no longer sufficient.
Companies/organizat-ions/government
agencies and job seekers must find another effective, time-saving, and permanent way
for
commun-
ication.
For many years now, the Internet had served as an excellent medium for effective
communication between several parties. Using the Internet as a medium and web
technology as a tool, a system that connects job providers with job seekers would be
an answer to the conventional methods shortcoming.
This document presents the software requirements specification for such a system. We
have called our system: Job Placement. The Job Placement is an open source
application licensed under the GNU license, and is hosted at Source Forge
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/job-placement/
The application is to be
developed in the Said Khoury Information Technology Center of Excellence
(SKITCE) at AL-Quds University by Firas Abu Hasan, Murad Amro, Omar Dhaher,
and Fadi Khalaileh.
