New Employment Network Launching for Philadelphia Chapter of the National Black MBA Association
Philadelphia, PA – The NBMBAA Philadelphia Chapter, announces its newest offering to association members—a Web-based Employment Network that connects job seekers with prospective employers in the name specific industry. The new job board, powered by career services leader JobTarget, can be found at www.nbmbaa-philly.org. Access is available to NBMBAA Philadelphia Chapter members and nonmembers alike.
“Our association promotes name specific industry knowledge, networking, and excellence,” says NBMBAA Philadelphia Chapter president Venetta S. Larry. “Launching an online Employment Network for professionals in our field—and in our geographic region—is a natural extension of that mission.”
NBMBAA Philadelphia Chapter’s employment marketplace, like other JobTarget-powered Career Centers, distinguishes itself from generalist job boards in a number of ways. These include
• a highly targeted focus on employment opportunities in a certain sector, location, or demographic;
• anonymous resume posting and job application—enabling job candidates to stay connected to the employment market while maintaining full control over their confidential information;
• an advanced Job Alert system that notifies candidates of new opportunities matching their own pre-selected criteria;
• access to industry-specific jobs—and top-quality candidates—often not seen on Monster, CareerBuilder, or HotJobs.
“Niche job boards, like the one we’ve designed for the NBMBAA Philadelphia Chapter, are an ideal way to recruit top candidates,” says JobTarget CEO Andrew Banever. “Our customized Employment Networks also attract new members—both individuals and businesses—to associations such as the NBMBAA Philadelphia Chapter. That helps drive participation in conferences, professional development workshops, award programs, and other exclusive benefits.”
To visit the Employment Network, log onto the NBMBAA Philadelphia Chapter website www.nbmbaa-philly.org and click “Employment Network.” Once there you can immediately post your resume or a job opening. For additional information, please Felicia Nix at 215-472-BMBA (2622) option 6 or employmentnetwork@nbmbaa-philly.org.
