As many of those who follow the developments at iNamics know, what got us started building web apps was CareerShift . Happily, CareerShift is now licensed by over 70 colleges and universities and is getting a lot of recognition. Recently, it won an exciting award. Below is a recent news release:
ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At the CAREER EMPOWERMENT SUMMIT held at the Caribe Royale, CAREER DIRECTORS INTERNATIONAL (CDI) selects CareerShift .com as 1st place winner of their prestigious Career Innovator Award. The job seeker web service, CareerShift .com, is “the most innovative and effective of all the career industry nominees”, according to CDI. This award represents CDI’s desire to give career professionals a platform to demonstrate their expertise, innovation and commitment to the career services industry.
In its first year presenting this award, CDI decided to select from any submitted category, including career software, books, websites, job hunting tools, games, training programs, outreach programs, etc., and judged them all together to identify “the most innovative and valuable innovator to the careers industry.”
Val Matta, an Executive Vice President for the company accepted the award from Laura DeCarlo, CDI’s President & Executive Director.
When asked, “Why CareerShift ?”, Val Matta says, “CareerShift offers job seekers the most comprehensive on-line resource available to job-hunters today. CareerShift was created to support the number one request of job seekers: an easy-to-use web resource to conduct and organize their job search.”
CareerShift is now licensed by over 70 schools and universities which then offer the career service to their students and alumni.
Companies also offer CareerShift as an affordable “virtual” outplacement service and career builder to all employees; not just those employees who traditionally have been offered similar, “bricks and mortar” outplacement services.
Professional Job search strategists, career coaches, and resume writers use CareerShift with their clients. CareerShift's Partner Program has also just launched coinciding with this award.
A free 24 hour trial is available at www.careershift.com.
CareerShift provides innovative web tools that are especially useful for those who are not adept at internet job search or lack the technology skills to do so. Individual job seekers on the web use CareerShift as their proactive career builder and management system.
CDI, which sponsors the award, is comprised of over 1,450 career professionals who span all career disciplines and represent a global community of those individuals who aspire to be leaders in the career industry and want to make a difference to the job seekers they serve.
