FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(PRWEB) May 28, 2004 -- SocialWorkJobBank.com, the online job board of Harrisburg, PA-based The New Social Worker magazine, has been selected for inclusion in Weddles Recruiters Guide to Employment Web Sites 2004 and Weddles Job Seekers Guide to Employment Web Sites 2004. The site caters to professional bachelors and masters level social workers and the employers who are hiring them.

I am thrilled that SocialWorkJobBank has been chosen for this honor," said Linda Grobman, a social worker who started the magazine and the site. It grew out of our SocialWorker.com site, which started in 1997. Several years ago, employers started contacting me about placing job listings on the site. Eventually, I decided to expand to a new site that would be a full-fledged job board and career center for social workers."

Weddles guides are the leading source of information on the 40,000+ job boards and employment-related sites on the Internet. The books editor, Peter Weddle, has been dubbed the Zagat of the recruitment industry" by the American Staffing Association.

Peter Weddle said, in a letter to site administrator Grobman, Each year, we collect data from and evaluate thousands of job boards and career portals and select just 350 sites for inclusion in our publications. While admitting to some bias, therefore, we think having your site profiled in a WEDDLEs Guide is a high honor indeed, and I congratulate you and your colleagues on this singular distinction." He invited Grobman to display a Weddles icon on the site, ...so that recruiters and job seekers alike will know that your site is among the very best on the Internet."

Each site in the Recruiters Guide is featured with a full-page listing, outlining services available to employers and recruiters, site statistics, and contact information. The Job Seekers Guide provides a ½-page description of each site.

In addition to providing social work job listings, a resume bank, e-mail job alerts, and other typical job board services-powered by state-of-the-art JobTarget.com technology-SocialWorkJobBank.com recently enhanced the site with a new online social work career center (http://www.socialworkjobbank.com/careercenter), to provide information to those who want to join the ranks of the social work profession. The career center helps prospective and new social workers sort out the various issues related to preparing for a social work career, searching for a social work job, and advancing in such a career. Social work has been a popular career choice in recent years, ranking as the 3rd most searched graduate program on GradSchools.com.
