| Job posting web sites are the most common way that students and professionals search for employment. All of the job searching tools operate in a similar way, users filter the postings through the use of keywords. Postings matching the keywords are displayed as a list and the user is required to read through this list one by one. However, there are many other ways to display text-based data. In this thesis, we explore the use of other types of information visualization techniques that would be appropriate for this type of data. We have developed a new visualization especially for student-based job searches and have applied our results to data from the Rutgers Career Knight Portal. |
