Following our recent migration to a new jobs database and job tools format at http://jobsearch.imdiversity.com, the editors have begun to restore a number of previously popular jobs quicksearch features including our jobs by location and jobs by occupation quicksearches, and our $100K-Plus Featured Jobs section.
As before, the section spotlights select job opportunities offering salary ranges extending to $100,000 or above. However, one new improvement to the section is the $100K-Plus quicksearch link. With this, jobseekers are not only able to review the currently displayed high-paying featured jobs, but can click through to additional matching results and immediately schedule a Saved Search to send them a job alert email whenever any new feature jobs in a range paying over $100,000 are added to the site.
Although jobseekers can "subscribe" to a Saved Search agent without opening a full job tools account, they will enjoy improved tools for managing multiple alerts and posting employer-searchable resume by creating a quick Job Tools account first.

New IMDiversity Job Board Migration
IMDiversity.com Career Center is continuing the migration to a new job search tools format on a new jobs database http://jobsearch.imdiversity.com.
The new job search site offers featured job opportunities with diversity-committed employers, as well as a greatly expanded selection of network jobs in an easy sort, two-tab interface.
Jobseekers can also use a quick sign-up wizard to open a new, personalized Job Tools account, post an employer-searchable resume using three streamlined posting methods, and create and manage multiple Saved Search Agents -- automated searches using your custom criteria that will send you an email job alert whenever a new job is added matching your specifications.
Another improvement we'll say more about in future posts is the streamlined Saved Search/Job Alert Agent process. Any job search result using your custom search criteria or results displayed through clicking on one of the QuickSearch links throughout the IMDiversity Career Center site can now be quickly instantly saved and scheduled to alert you by email to new job matches as they are added. At our users' request, the Saved Searches do not require creating a Job Tools account. However, opening a Job Tools account makes the process of managing and scheduling multiple custom job alerts even easier.
To get started, create your free Job Tools account now or conduct a job search.

Poll Shows Audience Growth Even as Ethnic Media Struggle
On the eve of its National Ethnic Media Expo & Awards, New America Media, a collaboration of more than 2,500 ethnic media outlets, has released a poll suggesting that "Ethnic Media Outlets Gain in Readers and Viewers" even as the economic downturn is taking a dire toll on small niche publishers of the sort represented among NAM's affiliates.
In its poll analyzing current figures against those taken in 2005, New America Media has marked singificant growth in Hispanic-targeted media in particular: "The penetration of Spanish-language radio stations and newspapers has increased substantially...Moreover, Spanish-language television stations now reach 86 percent of all Hispanic adults in the United States, while access to the Internet among Hispanics has grown from 24 percent in 2005 to 37 percent this year."
It also finds that "Other ethnic communities are also tuning into their media outlets. African-American audiences for television stations, radio stations and newspapers that focus on Black themes has increased about 10 percent since 2005; Chinese-language television stations and newspapers now reach 70 percent of all Chinese adults in the US, up from 55 percent in 2005; and Korean-language newspapers reach 64 percent of all Korean adults in the country, a boost from 46 percent in 2005."
The report makes an argument for the increasing relevance and importance of ethnic media for addressing the unique interests of niche communities, even as many publications are shutting their doors -- at least on the brick-and-mortar, paper publishing operations. Finding industry "strategies for surviving the economic downturn" is the theme of NAM's annual Expo, which takes place this year on June 4-5 at the Atlanta Hyatt Regency Hotel.

Seasonal Special: Entry-Level and Student Job Opportunities
The Editors are pleased to announce their work on our annual just-in-time features for our site visitors who are seeking entry-level or student internship/co-op employment opportunities before graduation.
We've added new readings and current opportunity updates to our Entry-Level/New Graduate and Internship/Co-op quick search channels, including the annual feature analysis, Job Outlook for the Class of 2009, by Dr. Phil Gardner, from our sister publication, THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine.
The 2009 Outlook definitely looks bleak, says the director of the Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University. But there are some remaining bright spots, as new grads in some majors continue to benefit from large retiree pool.
Nonetheless, it is clear that the class of 2009 faces a much more daunting task entering the entry-level job market than we've seen in many years. From our perspective as a producer of multiple jobs and careers sites, employers across a wide variety of sectors are clearly trending toward modest college hiring activity. Compared to this time last year, fewer new opportunities for new college graduates are being featured on our Entry-Level Channel. Anecdotally, many employers report they completed their planned college hiring activity earlier this season, or have scaled back on campus recruitment events.
But the outlook is not entirely hopeless, as we've discovered in an ongoing informal survey of employers this late winter, and IMDiversity is pleased to be a co-presenter of the 2009 Virtual Diversity Career Fair for recent grads and entry-level candidates being hosted on THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Online, and also co-presented this year by our friends at Black College Wire, the news service for Black college students.
Following last year's highly successful Pre-Graduation Virtual Career Fair, this annual online event feature the employers from the Top 100 Employers List, as seen in THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine Second Semester Super Issue, plus other employers from a variety of sectors who confirm they are still seeking diverse entry-level candidates despite the economic downturn and decreased campus recruitment activity. Many are also seeking college students and new graduates for internships and coops.
We will post more about the Fair in the days to come, but in the meantime encourage IMDiversity.com student and entry-level jobseekers of all backgrounds, majors and career interests to visit the Fair, create a quick free THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Online Job Tools account using the Fair's quick preregistration form, and subscribe for Fair updates.
