Others expressed security concerns.

"I think it's well-done, but they need to make sure of a lot of things before I feel comfortable putting my resume on-line," said Andwele J. Lewis '98.

"How can you make sure that your information got there in the proper form? People's futures are depending on what interviews they get," he added.

Chao said the system is designed to ensure security of transmitted information.

"You need a password at every crucial juncture to information," he said. "Right now, the only people with access to resumes are OCS."

"I'm excited about it," Sternglanz added. "A lot of universities are moving towards a system like this, but we've beaten a lot of them to the punch."

Brown and Yale Universities still use JobTrack, a job registry, and Stanford University admits to being behind the times.

"We haven't decided yet what Web based recruitment program we're going to use," said Robert W. Thirsk, Stanford's director of career placement and planning.

Princeton University plans to implement an on-line recruitment program next year similar to that developed by Chao, Sternglanz and Truong.

"We plan on using a Microsoft Access database register linked to our Web page, so companies can register with us and students can access them from the Web," said W. Judd Hark, assistant manager of recruitment at Princeton's Office of Career Services.

The developers of Harvard's new job search program have their own company, Crimson Solutions, and big plans for the future. "We're thinking about on-line student registration, financial aid, even rooming arrangements," Chao said
