Feb. Top 100 Employers/African American History Edition of THE BLACK COLLEGIAN

IMDiversity, Inc. is pleased to announce the publication of the Second Semester 2007 Super Issue of THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine.

The February Top 100 Employers/African-American History edition features our annual listing of the top 100 employers for the class of 2007, as well as a feature interview with actor Will Smith; Charlayne Hunter-Gault's tribute to the late Ed Bradley; and much more.

Additional career-focused features include a series of practical advice articles for students and recent graduates on successfully navigating the various stages of the job interviewing process, from interviewing at on-campus career fairs to presenting yourself well at on-site interviews.

In a related feature, "How to Make the Most of Your Campus Career Center," we surveyed directors from career offices at universities nationwide to get their tips for how to maximize these often-utilized resources.

The staff will begin to upload the edition, including a number of special extended article expanded from the magazine versions, to http://www.black-collegian.com. The magazine is distributed free on several hundred college campuses in the U.S., primarily through career services offices, and is also available through direct personal subscriptions.

IMDiversity Healthcare Channel updates underway

The editors of the IMDiversity.com network have begun work on updating and expanding the http://www.imdiversity.com/Villages/Channels/healthcare/default.asp.

Initially launched as a time-limited feature -- a blend of an online virtual career fair with detailed background articles presenting information about diversity and the employment outlook in this booming field, the Healthcare Channel has proved a consistently popular destination with our readers. Many readers, in fact, have written to request additional features focused on finding and preparing for opportunities in healthcare-related fields.

As a result, we have published a number of new articles , as well as updated and expanded upon the statistical information, resource listings, salary information, and employment outlook projections for the field. We will continue to update the channel throughout the season, and incorporate new readings series focused on both opportunities and disparities in healthcare for our diverse communities.

The Healthcare Channel, along with the IMDiversity Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Channel, offer not only articles about the industries, but also a number of job quicksearch tools and employer profiles to allow faster, more relevant searching of targeted opportunities in this very broad employment category. QuickSearch tools in both channels also allow users who hold a free MY JOB TOOLS Account with IMDiversity to customize, refine and save healthcare-related job searches in our database so they can automatically receive email notices of new postings in the future.
