A computer-implemented method for user-driven dynamic filtering of a set of career and job opportunities with a user computing device, the method comprising:

• rendering a taxonomy selection mechanism on a first portion of a user computing device display screen, the taxonomy selection mechanism enabling user selection of one of a plurality of available taxonomies;
• receiving a user selection of a selected taxonomy via the taxonomy selection mechanism;
• displaying a taxonomic node network on a second portion of the user computing device display screen, the taxonomic node network comprising a plurality of user-selectable elements corresponding to categories within the selected taxonomy, the plurality of user-selectable elements animated for distribution around a user-selected one of said elements;
• and
• automatically updating a third portion of the user computing device display screen to contain indicia associated with career and job opportunities categorized within a taxonomy category associated with the selected element from the taxonomic node network.
