MINNEAPOLIS, MN, December 16, 2009 - Steven Rothberg, President and Founder of CollegeRecruiter.com, has been selected as one of the presenters at the Canadian Association of Career Educators & Employers 2010 Annual Conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia next June.

"I'm excited about the opportunity to be one of the presenter at next year's CACEE annual conference," said Steven Rothberg. "This will be my first presentation at CACEE but not to Canadian audiences. Although CollegeRecruiter.com is based in Minneapolis and most of our business is in the U.S., we're seeing an increasing amount of clients from Canada and other countries. In addition, I grew up in Winnipeg so it will be nice to help and learn from the many highly respected career service and university recruiting professionals from north of the border."

Rothberg's presentation at the CACEE conference will be entitled, "Taking Your Recruiting Message Mobile: Why, How, and When." During the presentation, he'll use humor to help ensure there's a healthy amount of interaction with the attendees as well as to illustrate his points about why, how, and when employers should use cell phone text messaging, multi-media messages (photos, videos, and other graphics sent phone-to-phone), and web sites which are built specifically to work well with a wide variety of mobile devices.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, December 14, 2009 - Steven Rothberg, President and Founder of CollegeRecruiter.com, has been selected as one of the presenters at the Society for Human Resource Management 2010 Annual Conference in San Diego next July.

"I've had the good fortune to be a presenter at last year's SHRM annual conference and am excited about doing so again next summer," said Steven Rothberg. "SHRM annual conferences are the can't miss events for anyone working in a field related to human resources. The exhibit floor itself is worth the price of admission as there are hundreds of booths representing vendors from every niche that supports human resource professionals. Even more important than the exhibit floor, however, are the presentations. The presenters are vetted very, very carefully and anyone who has a habit of selling from the podium is simply not going to be given the opportunity to do so at SHRM."

Rothberg's presentation at the SHRM conference will be entitled, "Taking Your Recruiting Message Mobile: Why, How, and When." During the presentation, he'll use humor to help ensure there's a healthy amount of interaction with the attendees as well as to illustrate his points about why, how, and when employers should use cell phone text messaging, multi-media messages (photos, videos, and other graphics sent phone-to-phone), and web sites which are built specifically to work well with a wide variety of mobile devices.

Most states experienced a sharp decline in the number of internships and entry level jobs posted by employers from November to December.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, December 4, 2009 - Despite indications of economic recovery, there's been a marked decrease in the number of internship and entry level job opportunities in most states, according to a recent review of employers' posting habits conducted by CollegeRecuiter.com, the nation's leading job board for college students and new graduates. The nation's most thinly populated states have experienced the most significant decline.

Although some states, like Ohio (4%) and Colorado (3%), have seen some increase in the number of internships on CollegeRecruiter.com at the beginning of December, most others, like Arkansas (30%) and New Mexico (24%), have significantly lower numbers than they had in November. Most states, like Pennsylvania (16% fewer internships and 10% fewer entry level jobs) and Illinois (8% fewer internships and 7% fewer entry level jobs) have fared poorly on both fronts. Some, like Oregon (8% more entry level jobs posted) and Nevada (11% more entry level jobs posted), have fared somewhat better.

"A reduction in the number of job posts is to be expected at this time of year," said content coordinator, Candice Arnold. "But we're certainly hopeful that the new year will bring with it many new opportunities."

In an effort to help job seekers quickly find employment, CollegeRecruiter.com earlier this year initiated a monthly survey of thousands of job posts to identify those states with the most, and the fewest, number of internship and entry level job opportunities posted by employers. The data, updated at the beginning of each month, is gathered through a review of recruitment trends from each state and the District of Columbia. The monthly review is intended to serve as a guide to help job seekers estimate the status of the job market in the states where they reside.

Among the states with the most opportunities, Texas is the only one to have a decrease (4%) in the number of internships posted. And Florida is only state to have an increase (5%) in the number of entry level jobs posted. Every state with the lowest number of entry level job and internship postings has experienced a significant decline in December.

Here are some of the states that have the most and fewest internships and entry level jobs available for December:

States With the Largest Number of Internships

States With the Smallest Number of Internships

States With the Smallest Number of Entry Level Jobs

Take a look at the following states, which were fortunate enough to have an increase in the number of internships and entry level jobs posted to CollegeRecruiter.com in December:

• Michigan - 279 internships (up 9 % from 255 in November)
• Ohio - 573 internships (up 4% from 552 in November)
• Colorado - 347 internships (up 3% from 337 in November)
• Missouri - 1,644 entry level jobs (up 3% from 1,603 in November)
• Oregon - 1,413 entry level jobs (up 8% from 1,310 in November)
• Nevada - 967 entry level jobs (up 11% from 869 in November)

In the Washington, D.C. area, Maryland and the District of Columbia have experienced an increase in the number of internships, while Virginia has experienced a decrease, but all three have experienced decreases in the number of entry level jobs posted, causing their combined total to fall from more than 12,000 to a little over 11,600 posted opportunities for December.

• Washington, D.C. - 1,038 internships (up 26% from 826 in November) and 3,105 entry level jobs (down 4% from 3,242 in November)
• Maryland - 443 internships (up 8% from 409 in November) and 2,794 entry level jobs (down 9% from 3,076 in November)
• Virginia - 527 internships (down 2% from 538 in November) and 3,715 entry level jobs (down 11% from 4,188 in November)

"I've been a big fan of Jobs2Web since its inception. It was obvious from day one that Jobs2Web was ready, willing, and able to bring accountability to the world of recruitment advertising," said Steven Rothberg, president and founder of CollegeRecruiter.com. "Historically, employers have been forced to spend huge portions of their recruitment budgets without a clue as to what was working, resulting in inefficiencies and a complete waste of resources. With this partnership, we'll drive value to our joint clients by providing them with increased efficiency as well as enhanced recruitment marketing and communication tools."

Peter Baskin, vice president of Marketing for Jobs2Web, said, "The category of interactive recruiting is quickly evolving, especially as companies seek to leverage social media and Web 2.0 technologies as more cost effective means of sourcing qualified candidates. However, formulating an interactive recruiting program needs to be strategic, not merely tactical, which is why our relationship with CollegeRecruiter.com will lend further support to our clients.
