The CareerCenter has been connecting job seekers and employers in the community association industry for the past several years. Resumes can be posted to the CareerCenter at no charge, and posting features can assure job seekers anonymity and confidentiality. Employers seeking to fill industry job openings can post positions, as well as a variety of job and company details for a nominal fee. An automated resume search will identity applicants and employers also can search posted resumes. CareerCenter Innovations In the chapter’s ongoing mission to bring more benefits and services to its members, the CareerCenter now has a Social Networking Sharing Module that will allow users, including job applicants and employers, to “share” job posting details via their online social networks. Employers are provided a tool to distribute their job postings through their own online social networks, which will give their job postings additional exposure via word-of-mouth from job seekers. Job seekers can share job opportunities with their social networks, which is especially significant in the current economy when job seekers and their peers are looking for a job or career advancement. A “share” button on the navigation bar will allow users to share the job detail information via their online social networks, including Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter and others. We congratulate the following CAI-NE members who join their colleagues and peers around the country in achieving these professional designations.
