Auza.Net is now accepting applicants for its Summer 2010 OJT Program. The company’s OJT program has been very successful with most of the OJTs landing jobs right after graduation. The program exposes the students to various technologies ranging from physical computer networks to plugin development for websites. This year’s program will focus on template development for Wordpress. This will give the OJTs exposure on various web technologies, especially on Wordpress which is already very popular among bloggers. Some OJTs may also work with the company’s network administrators on special projects.

To qualify, the students must be incoming senior students (incoming 4th year if taking a four year course or incoming 5th year if taking a five year course) and with good moral character. Interested students may submit their application letter, resume and transcript of records to:

The OJT Program Director
Auza.Net Internet Media Center
K of C Recreation Center

Please indicate in your application letter and resume the reasons why you should be considered for the program.

Auza.Net has released another free online service called PRCPassers.com, a fast search engine for names of board examinees who passed the PRC exams. It is still in its beta stage which means there are still improvements being done but the site is already usable by the general public. The service is unique compared to all other websites that publish lists of board exam passers because it is a real search engine where you simply type in the last, first or middle name or any combination of these and the results are shown immediately. The user is no longer required to click several links before finding the list of names which can take quite some time.

PRCPassers.com keeps an index of the board exam passers allowing for a very fast search, while providing the user a link to the official results on the PRC website so the results can be verified. In contrast, the other websites that publish the board exam results simply copy the data and republish them.

The search engine is a customized Wordpress plugin that includes a very fast search algorithm developed specifically for this type of index. It also performs the indexing everytime a new list of board exam passers are published by the PRC. Even though the plugin performs complicated functions, the development period was relatively short, a total of 5 working days only. This is because the developer only had to develop the functions that are specific to the search engine. All other functions like authentication and database abstraction are already handled by Wordpress (http://www.wordpress.org), a very popular content management system.
