A good place to start on layout problems is the W3C's
validator. Your page
turns up some very interesting errors....

The first one refers to a missing doctype. It's quite
important that your
page have a valid and complete doctype, as this is the only
way to insure
that your layout gets rendered by the various browsers in
standards mode
rather than quirks mode.
The most striking errors on your page are those that reveal,
perhaps, a
complete misunderstanding of how CSS works, e.g.,
p4
{color: #333333;
font-style: normal;
text-align: left;
font-family: times new roman;
font-size: 11px}
<td align="center"
valign="top"><p4>&bull;</p4></td>
<td><p4>Market your positions directly to job
seekers
You are using CSS selectors as if they were HTML tags. They
are not. To
make this work, you would need to have this -
.p4
{color: #333333;
font-family: "times new roman", times, serif;
font-size: 11px}
(note the leading period on the p4, the deleted default
styles and the use
of a) quotes around font names containing spaces, and b) a
font family to
account for the fact that not all computers have Times New
Roman installed)
and then this -
<td align="center" valign="top"
class="p4">&bull;</td>
<td class="p4">Market your positions directly to job
seekers
What you have defined as an invalid TYPE selector in the CSS,
should be a
CLASS selector.
But the most important reason why your page looks different
on different
computers is explained here -
