The New Jobs Board is currently off-line due to CareerDFW.org being·hacked in the past couple of weeks. We have cleaned and fixed all the issues, except for the Job Board.
We are working to get the Jobs Board back up as soon as possible.
Remember...CareerDFW is 100% run by volunteers. We have no full or part time employees.
CareerDFW is having to hire an outside contractor to help with this problem.
Thanks for your understanding during this situation.
Searching for your next great opportunity is HARD work...maybe the hardest thing you will have to do.
It is very important to have a positive outlook especially during an interview.
