The website which received nearly 18,000 hits within a 3 month period and Surridge explained who had an impact on the decision to improve WorkinOxford.ca.  "We updated the site from direct feedback from the community.  We have had an incredible uptake on the old site to make the site more user friendly.  Job seekers can streamline their searches geographically or by category and type.  One of the other big things the non-for profit community groups can post their volunteer opportunities at no cost."
