are required to register online and fill their resumes. The resumes do not
appear online for companies until it it gets approved by KPMG. The approval
process is entirely web-based through the system's back-end control.

resume is approved the user is notified by email and he us allowed to search
available job vacancies online and apply for those of interest. The company is
then notified by emails of the application and logs on the site to view the
applicant's resume.
