So far it's getting a good response from the students who are able to get a good snapshot of their skills so far, but there is also the demand for the ordered list - so we are offering it as a display option, and see how that turns out.

The problem is that the whole concept of matching skills to keywords in job postings is not that efficient. http://jobhacks.wordpress.com/2007/12/06/job-postings-are-dead/ A better approach may be to find the company first, then the job. Ultimately, you make a decision to work at a company and you could probably do several jobs there. Interesting idea.
