BOSTON, MA -- Tuesday, December 21, 2004 -- From networking to interviewing to salary
discussions, the job search can be a long road to that next great opportunity. BostonWorks is
helping to ease the process with the launch of The Job Hunt, a special section on
BostonWorks.com that brings together all the tools of a successful job search. The Job Hunt can
be found on the BostonWorks Web site at www.bostonworks.com/jobhunt.
The Job Hunt breaks down the job search process into eight categories including planning and
research, resumes, networking, interviewing, salaries, career coaching, continuing education and
tools for the job search. Each category offers relevant editorial content from the pages of The
Boston Globe as well as supporting information such as research, recommended books, a salary
wizard tool and an upcoming events calendar.
The tools section is designed to provide job seekers with a wealth of resources designed to help
them find the right job. Each of the tools featured provides access to the services of career
coaching experts, including Resume.com, a resume writing service; Salary.com, an inside look at
salary ranges in your industry; Interview Mastery, an online course to help master the interview
process; Executive Agent, a resume broadcast service; Career Coach, a personalized career
consulting service from Lee Hecht Harrison; and continuing education information from CE.com.
"As Boston's career mentor, we believe BostonWorks can help make finding a job faster and
easier for the job seeker," said Tim Murphy, general manager of BostonWorks. "The goal of The
Job Hunt was to bring the information and tools needed for a successful job hunt together at one
