"Response
to the added utilities and features has been great from job seekers,"
said the site's creator, Bernie Fussenegger. "We were able
to tailor CareerBarn.com to very specific requests, and it's paid
off in the number of new and repeat visitors."
Fussenegger believes as the site's users grow, so will the number
of postings from Louisville employers. Currently, CareerBarn.com
has more than 400 job postings from over 300 area employers.
