NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The Wall Street Journal Online enhanced its career content with the launch of a newly designed, free section -- CareerJournal (www.wsj.com/careers) -- featuring expanded career content, videos, slideshows, top-tier job listings, tools for recruiters and employers and more.
CareerJournal.com -- formerly a free, stand-alone site targeting executives, managers and professionals -- has been incorporated into the new channel.
"This new channel gives users access to not only the existing popular content and features they've come to expect from CareerJournal.com, but also a more robust, seamless WSJ.com experience," said Alan Murray, executive editor of The Wall Street Journal Online.
For the past two years TheLadders.com, the leading premium online job search service catering exclusively to the $100k+ career marketplace, has partnered with CareerJournal to offer their services to jobseekers. TheLadders.com serves as the launch sponsor of the enhanced CareerJournal at WSJ.com.
In addition to a visual look and feel consistent with other areas of WSJ.com, the new section will feature:
* 90 Days: A look at situations people face in their careers and what's needed in the first 90 days to succeed. Upcoming topics include working abroad, getting a new boss and being laid off; * How I Got Here: Profiles of real people describing in their own words the lessons learned, turning point and eureka moment of their careers; * An extensive database for job-seekers with jobs from top employers plus a confidential resume database; * Extensive resources for employers and recruiters to find top candidates, including a range of job posting opportunities and a searchable candidate database; * Videos featuring comments and interviews with recruiters, career coaches, executives and more, and podcasts addressing reader questions and career trends.
The new channel is located at www.wsj.com/careers. Users who log onto CareerJournal.com will be directed to the new site.
