You are curteous and brave to ask everyone. I agree with many of the already mentioned ideas and suggestions. Overall I think the look is much less overwhelming (in a good way). I think the color is fine. It is calming and lowkey but calming isn't so bad for someone stressed out about job search :-) though I do like the idea of color initiating action within the job seeker.

The one thing that really bugs me with sites and it's the same with the new layout, is this big 'Sign Up for FREE' on the top?! Why...trying to get people to sign up like that only results in 'freebie seekers' and serious users / followers of your site. It is like having a HUGE sign on a the window front of a shop saying 'Walk In For FREE'...what is that all about. If people want your goods or services they will once they see you provide great content and services...they will be begging to have it and sign up...those are the people you wnat on your list. So please move the 'free sign up' away from the top and maybe small to side and lower. Good luck with choosing though Angie Hi, yes i agree with most the theme / layout etc is better and yes it could do with a little more colour, maybe a refreeshing of logo but that is not a priority I would say.

Just a splash though. Not sure the blues should change or not (if so what shade?) but as someone else mentioned – Jeff I think, my first thoughts were orange or red. Just a splash though.

I still am not in love with top bar: kinda utilitarian....it needs a focus...I almost think that you are apologizing for the JibberJobber logo bothering your site...hmm...just the structure with the links makes it look like a poor country cousin.

Lots of sites seem to use those 2-3 colors. White and a couple of shades of blue. Maybe some contrasting color somewhere? It only has to be an accent color.... Oh, and I think the advice given to you about not allowing access to employers is wise. For a variety of reasons. There are a lot of resources for them a lot fewer for for job seekers. Jason,

Give the job-seeker a multimedia platform through which to showcase himself to employers. Rather than re-inventing the wheel, simply do some simple things that allows what is already created to be funneled here. For example, one's Linkedin profile, Infograph, About.Me page, Prezi presentation, Squidoo multimedia resume'. In fact, why not create a module library just as Squidoo has done and let your users create their own profile for employers. Want to see what I am talking about? Visit http://budurl.com/LamarMorgan. Give the users of your platform the freedom to showcase themselves in ways they see as most valuable. Don't put the blinders on your users. Take the off!

Much better! You're looking current. How about making the JIBBERJOBBER icon less rigid and stuck. It's so upright and blocked. Job seekers can't be stationary and "blocked." How about italicizing and giving those J's some JUMP! Re-do the JibberJobber font graphic while conducting this redesign. Get it all done! Why keep a legacy piece. Go for the FULL new look. Just my two cents. Nice!! Much better! You’re looking current. How about making the JIBBERJOBBER icon less rigid and stuck. It’s so upright and blocked.

However, I think the colors are too bland; they don't "grab" and invite mental immersion. The webs I admire most have rich tones, i.e. reds, cobalt, gold with intensity fading to muted. Change is quite a challenge, I know. The layout is an improvement. However, I think the colors are too bland; they don’t “grab” and invite mental immersion.
