TTJobs Offers a Global Recruitment Hub for Travel Industry Professionals

November 9, 1998- The Online Career Center (OCC) (www.occ.com), the pioneer in online recruiting and a part of the TMP Interactive Division of TMP Worldwide, today announced a strategic alliance with Travel Tourism Jobs (TTJobs)(www.ttjobs.com), the Internet's first global career channel dedicated to the travel and tourism industries.

As one of the most lucrative growth industries of the 21st century, travel and tourism is also facing the challenge of locating qualified personnel to fill expanding job opportunities worldwide. By leveraging the Internet's unparalleled strengths of dissemination of information and communication, TTJobs is poised to meet the needs of both employers and potential employees in the travel and tourism marketplace. In addition, by co-marketing services with the OCC, the quality of industry recruitment will improve dramatically for industry participants.

OCC, which provides online career information in more than 200 industry categories, will cooperatively operate a job search database service via the TTJobs global career channel. Job seekers will have direct access to more than 80,000 job listings, resume creation, resume posting, and company profiles. Users may also take advantage of the site's ``search within a search'' feature that narrows search criteria to suit the capabilities of the user; resulting in better matches for both employers and employees.

``The partnership with TTJobs is an effective response to the increasing need for a niche site that offers comprehensive recruitment resources to users worldwide,'' said Bill Warren, president of the OCC. He added that, ``in no other industry today, is the combination of the Internet and education more crucial to linking qualified people to available job opportunities.''

For employers, TTJobs offers an Internet-based human resource management service that enables industry subscribers to display and retain recruitment information, present job opportunities and research and review resumes efficiently. Prospective employees can post resumes, free-of-charge, and view detailed information about member companies and potential employment opportunities. Users can also access other value-added services such as career assistance, a self-help career information section for applicants, discussion forums, industry career advice and industry career fairs and events.

``TTJobs has positioned itself to capitalize on the most exciting growth industries for the next millennium; the Internet and travel and tourism. By partnering with the most successful career hub online, OCC, we'll have the ability to meet the needs of all travel and tourism professionals; from intern to CEO,'' stated Steve Bastasini, founder and director of Worldwide Business Development for TTJobs.
