New Job Tools and Expanded Jobs Network for Students

We're pleased to announce we've completed the migration to our new Job Tools format and jobs database, offering improved resume posting and Saved Search Job Alert agent tools, as well as the ability to search a vastly expanded selection of job opportunities through our new Job Sites Network.

Student and entry-level job seekers are welcomed to create an account on our new system using our Job Tools Quickstart wizard.

Other additions of interest include a new series of QuickTips offering advice on how to optimize your job search on our site network, and the ability to subscribe for Jobs and Careers Updates mailings to receive notices about additional features such as our virtual career fairs, Top 100 Employers specials, graduate study opportunities, unpublished job opportunities and more.

To view the new tools and try the extended job search, visit www.blackcollegian.com and click "Job Tools".

Recently Added Features: Video, Nonprofit Careers, Male Students

This week, we are featuring in our Xtra Video and Media section an inspiring video, "Lift Every Voice and Sing". The video produced by Ascender Communications features the 'Negro National Anthem' originally screened at the historic African-American Church Inaugural Ball in Washington, DC on January 18th, 2009. Also added recently is a feature profile of Willie Iles, Jr., National Director for Government & Community Relations for the Boy Scouts of America. Mr Iles discusses the challenges and rewards of working in the nonprofit sector, and in the BSA, which is embarking on its 100th Anniversary in 2010. We are also glad to welcome back past contributor Ian Evans, with his feature Gentleman of Quality, an exploration of "Young Black Men who are upholding the tradition of achievement, striving for excellence, and battling society's negative stereotypes."
