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.

Important Changes Underway to IMDiversity Job Bank
IMDiversity.com will be moving this month to a new jobs database format with streamlined job search and resume management tools. We invite you to preview the beta model of our new job bank and its extended network of jobs at http://jobsearch.imdiversity.com.
For jobseekers with existing accounts, your account tools, resume, applications history, jobs in-box and search agent will still be accessible on our current system at http://jobs.imdiversity.com until May 31, 2009. If you have any outstanding applications you would like to make to jobs saved in your in-box, we encourage you to do so or to make a copy of the posting before then.
If you have not visited our site recently, we hope you will explore our new job bank, now with simple new methods to search a vastly expanded network of postings, filter relevant jobs and schedule automated searches. Although the new system does not require it to search for and apply to jobs, creating a new account at http://jobsearch.imdiversity.com/jobseeker/ takes only a moment, and lets you also access the new versions of our easy-to-use searchable resume posting and custom job search agent.

IMDiversity's 100K-Plus Jobs Section Back Online
After a hiatus, IMDiversity has restored our feature, $100K-Plus Jobs, our section of high-paying featured job opportunities offering salary ranges extending to $100,000 or above.

ADDED: Jobs for US - Alabama Opportunities Center
The editors have added this month the latest in our series of job location quicksearch sections, the Jobs for US - Alabama Opportunities Center at IMDiversity.com.
Like other location quicksearches in our online Career Center, the section provides pre-programmed, easy-access searches of featured opportunities in major cities throughout the state, as well as in neighboring states. Search results can be refined with custom criteria and saved to a free Job Tools for later one-click searches, or as an auto-search job agent with alert notifications sent be email.
Other helpful tools bundled in include a salary calculator, links to extended entry-level and student opportunity searches, and a link to graduate and professional school information for those considering going back to get a higher degree.
The new quicksearch can be found in the Jobs QuickSearch section of the Career Center, along with other new quicksearches added this year, most recently Jobs for US - North Carolina, Jobs for US - Colorado, and Jobs for US - Arizona.

Added: IMDiversity.com Featured Jobs in Academia
As the academic job search cycle winds down for the season, with most application deadlines falling between mid-October and mid-November for extended searches, IMDiversity.com Career Center has expanded its QuickSearch Section: Jobs in Academia, Education, and Training. A new component highlights time-sensitive Featured Jobs with education employers.
Although the section spotlights a broader range of education-related opportunities, including jobs in the primary, secondary and continuing education fields, as well as corporate education and training, this month's focus will emphasize time-sensitive positions in higher education. Current employers range from community colleges to 4-year colleges and graduate degree-granting institutions throughout the U.S., as well as select institutions abroad.
Positions offered also vary, including both faculty (from ad hoc lecturer to tenure-track professors) and staff/administrator openings, as well as an occasional fellowship. As always, the section also includes pre-programmed quicksearches that can be refined with custom criteria and saved for future use as auto-alert agents. All employers listed have opted to promote institutional diversity through placing their open positions on the IMDiversity.com Career Center.
Because of the short-lived postings and close deadlines for most applications, we encourage visitors seeking academic positions to be certain to create a free account on IMDiversity and save a personal copy of the posting for reference, and to carefully review and follow the application instructions specified in the posting as soon as possible. Note that some of the jobs featured this month are subject to quick expiration, and may be removed at any time by the employers if filled, withdrawn or changed.
Finally, we will also be highlighting select featured academic employers this month, and encourage visitors to also review their employer profiles for more institutional details.
Among our spotlighted employer profiles this month are Northeastern University in Boston, MA and The New School University in NYC. Additionally, we are pleased offer featured jobs with Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY; Oakton Community College in Skokie, IL; and multiple campuses throughout two state college systems -- the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and the Alabama College System.
If you or someone you know are actively seeking opportunities in academia, please visit the section soon, as most of the positions will close within the next three weeks.
Good luck!

Job Hunters Chronicles: Does Anyone Really Find a Job Online?
This was a question that we overheard recently, and that became the topic of an extended discussion on Facebook. The frustration in it was clear as a bell, and it ultimately led the editors at IMDiversity to decide we wanted to explore the topic more deeply.
From the inside perspective of folks who work with web technology and in the areas of student and professional recruitment (online and offline), we can say with some authority and certainty that the answer is, "Yes, some people do find and get jobs using online tools..."
But from the same perspective, we also have to add, "...but it's not always as quick and straightforward as it seems."
Remember those Super Bowl commercials a number of years back where an office worker just posted a resume on an online job board just sat back and waited for the job offers to flood in along with piles of gifts and bouquets of flowers? Well, we've been in the business for some time, and while we've certainly seen jobseekers get connected with hiring employers and ultimately close on good employment opportunities through using online tools, we've never seen one get a floral bouquet with it...not one!
Just "going fishing" by taking a 10 minutes to drop a resume on a job board may be an adequate job hunt strategy for a very elite job seeker with stellar credentials, mounds of experience, an eloquent writing style that allows his or her winning personality to radiate off the virtual page, and the ideal skillset and references, background and presentation style to make a perfect organizational fit that is recognized by a highly active, dedicated and keen-eyed recruiter just itching to make this one hire out of several ASAP.
But you and me ain't that very elite person. Folks like us have to, as the old adage goes, "treat finding a job as if it was our job." We know that getting a good job can take some thought, resourcefulness and sometimes a little luck.
We also know that no matter how clever the technology that stands between us and the job of our dreams, that doesn't mean that more traditional strategies, preparation, negotiation and yes, offline action, can be tossed out the window. We've seen that even the most advanced resume database tool cannot save the applicant with the sloppy and unproofread resume, or lackluster or cocky or careless cover letter. We've seen some great jobseekers and great jobs pass each other by like ships in the night just because of slightly mistyped or outdated contact information on one side or another or both.
All we have to do is look at the spam in our email in-boxes to be reminded that sometimes, the powerful automating and communications technologies that are created to make our lives easier can tend, as they evolve and spread, to become so complex that we have to stop and periodically reassess how we can make the best use of them.
The editors will address this issue in a number of ways on our site this year, and we want to invite you to share stories about your online job search experiences for an upcoming new feature, The Job Hunters Chronicles.
We are seeking submissions from you -- the jobseeker, our readers or other site visitors -- in short-article format sharing your insights about how you used the Internet in a job search, and your frank experiences of what "worked" or "definitely did not work" for you in locating, applying to, or negotiating for job opportunities using online methods and tools. What tips or strategies or pitfalls to avoid?
If you have a good story to share with other jobseekers, please send them in to The Job Hunters Chronicles.

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.
