Your Dot.Com Career Is Just A Mouse-Click Away

MAYNARD, Mass.-- Nov. 9, 1999 -- Interested in landing an Internet job, but not sure where to start? Already in the dot.com business, but looking for a new challenge? Monster.com today introduced its Dot.com Careers zone, the most comprehensive online resource and community for job seekers looking to find and manage a dot.com career.

The Dot.com Careers zone (http://dotcom.monster.com), a new service from Monster.com, instantly connects employers and job seekers at the center of the rapidly expanding, Net-based economy. Revenues for Internet-related businesses are projected to rise more than 67 percent this year to $507 billion, according to a recent study of U.S.-based companies financed by Cisco Systems, with those businesses now accounting for 2.3 million jobs. Responding to this explosive growth and the creation of thousands of Net-related jobs, Monster.com created the Dot.com Careers zone--the most extensive site of its kind.

``The Internet employment landscape is changing at warp speed. With Web-based companies sprouting up nationwide, job seekers don't know where to go to find out about job openings in the dot.com market,'' said Jeff Taylor, CEO of Monster.com.

``Monster's Dot.com Careers zone offers a dedicated information-rich, online resource for uncovering jobs and industry-specific information. We're offering job seekers everything they need to know about finding and managing a dot.com career, from interviews with front-line workers to how traditional industries are reinventing themselves as Internet firms.''

Live, Scrolling Job Ticker

Users can instantly view current Internet-related jobs by clicking on company names on the site's scrolling, live job ticker. And, site visitors can enter specific job-related keywords in the QuickSearch box to scan Internet-based jobs within Monster.com's database of 250,000-plus jobs.

Expert Advice

Users interact with dot.com gurus like tech jobs expert Sacha Cohen, who answers questions about choosing a career direction, finding a next job, or breaking into the dot.com industry. ``For many individuals the prospect of changing jobs or careers can be an overwhelming experience,'' said Cohen. ``The Dot.com Careers zone allows job seekers to easily research this new industry before making a career transition and offers users the tools to help streamline the job search process.''

Content from Leading Industry Resources

The Industry Standard, a leading Internet publication, provides the Dot.com Careers zone with timely news and information about the Internet economy, and profiles of Web-based companies from WetFeet.com, a leading career research site on the Web, help candidates judge potential employers. In Dot.com Careers, users find fellow revolutionaries already in the dot.com career space who reveal the challenges and rewards of working at an Internet company. Job seekers can also sign up for a free dot.com career-focused newsletter, a digest of each week's career news and opportunities.

Chats and Message Boards

Chats and message boards give users a medium to share job-related and career information, keep current on Internet trends, and encourage job seekers, employers and other career professionals to actively communicate with each other. Topics for job seekers include ``Wired Compensation'' and ``Stock Option Mania.'' Recruiters can discuss topics like ``The New World of Managing Human Capital.''

The site will appeal to a range of audiences from job seekers eager to make the leap from a traditional corporate environment, to Internet professionals looking for a new challenge, to recruiters trying to connect with Internet-enabled employees. The content-rich, user-friendly zone saves job seekers and employers both time and money when identifying the right job, candidate or company in the fast-paced, ever-changing dot.com careers market.
