I like the name.

Here's a problem I quickly ran into. I browsed to companies. I clicked on the company Autotask. I was mostly checking out the design, but I noticed something curious. On the right it lists the location + google map.

What country is Autotask located in? No clue. All it says is "East Greenbush, Rensselaer" and the Google map is devoid of any further relevant information. I could guess it's an Australian company, but....

The site is sort of ok looking, but it seems very cookie-cutter. Kind of looks like a template site for bootstrap. Some more personality would be nice, something more unique to whatever image JobGPS is looking to broadcast.

I clicked the Navigate button on the home page without typing in anything, and it didn't do anything at all. It should do something, if just tell me to type something. I also typed in "guitarist" (to test it) and it rolled down an empty gray space; it should do something constructive instead upon entering non-useful text. I also tried entering text and hitting enter on my keyboard and it failed to do anything; it also wouldn't respond to the enter key upon selecting an actual degree properly.

The register and sign-in buttons in the top nav aren't very good. The text definitely shouldn't turn black against that background color.

This is a slightly OCD issue: the spacing in the top nav between "jobs | companies | register" drives me crazy (that jobs is so far apart from companies, compared to companies and register; whereas I think the sign up / sign in buttons should be separated more so from the main nav items; again, not a critical issue ;) ).

Great feedback. What did you have in mind when you mentioned more personality on the site? Also, would you be interested in learning about the various roles which are available after your degree?
