After going good amount of research i have found that Joomla or Drupal would be a better platform in order to setup a complete Jobs Portal but iam still confused if there is something possible with WordPress for setting up a Jobs Blog. Question by a Blog Reader.<\/p>\n

\n1. Categories – Cities, Job Type
\n2. Option to Upload Resume
\n3. Registration Form with Membership Feature for Employees
\n4. Latest Job Opening Listings on the Homepage under Categories
\n5. Paid access to your Members List for Recruiters & Employers.<\/p>\n

Once you have listed down all the required points, then you need to proceed towards setting up a fresh copy of the latest wordpress script on a domain name. Next you need to first setup different categories for the job blog which can be setup under different sections like City Name with a sub category of Job Type. Here is a example – Main Category : New York , Sub Category : Content Writers Jobs. This way you can basically create a few thousand categories under which you can list all the job listings. You can also make use of plugins like wordpress Category Order<\/a> which can be useful in listing your categories in some meaningful order. Also if your main categories are very limited you should be using a WordPress Plugin called Category Icons<\/a> which can display a small icon just before the Category Name to be listed on the sidebar of your blog, giving it a excellent look.<\/p>\n
