New, improved AGO website

The American Guild of Organists, which has had a stodgy, hard-to-use website for years, recently unveiled a new version, which is much better. The job listings, based on JobTarget software, are especially easy to navigate, and they have the ability to post users’ resumes online for convenient trawling by employers. Employers have to pay a fee to submit openings, but job-seekers can browse for free, and can register for the site (as far as I can tell) without being an AGO member.

 

In addition to organist jobs, the AGO listings also have choir director openings, but — of course — they’re not as good as ChoralNet’s.

 

Their other classifieds, where people advertise organs for sale and the like, are stil the stodgy look. I’ve still got a couple of nitpicks (e.g. hard to get back to the home page from elsewhere). But it’s a big improvement.
