CareerTV Launches 'Celebrities' Job News' to Attract More Young Professionals to its Site

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 15, 2007 -- CareerTV ? the nation?s leading provider of recruitment videos ? more than doubled its number of unique visitors to its site in the month of October. This is the second consecutive month with such an increase. CareerTV addresses job seeker?s demand for career information (http://www.careertv.com/index.asp?RefID=200) through video, as well as the employers? demand for a professional platform to communicate their brands. A number of new services at CareerTV have fueled the latest growth spurt including a new mini-series, new partnerships, and the addition of job listings.

CareerTV?s target audience is young professionals. To ensure that the tone and content meet their expectations, CareerTV recently launched the "Celebrities? Job News" series which includes interviews with well-known celebrities like Jerry Seinfeld.

"Our goal in interviewing celebrities is simple ? young people generally look up to these people and want more information about them. Our audience wants to know how famous people started their careers and what they did before their careers took off. Many of these celebs were very creative in what type of work would allow them to pursue their goals," says David Wheeler, President and Executive Producer at CareerTV.

CareerTV has hired Melissa Uhniat as its lead celebrity entertainment reporter. Ms.Uhniat joins anchor Sean O'Grady and Reporter Matt Rivera in this effort.

"We wanted to reach young people in a way that they could relate to ? and make thinking about their career a little more entertaining," explains Buttimer.

Most of CareerTV?s initial clients have been larger corporations looking to expand their employment branding efforts. The newest CareerTV clients include Accenture, Rohm & Haas, and Baxter International.

CareerTV has also recently signed partnerships with CareerBuilder, AfterCollege and CollegeGrad.com. These partnerships have enabled CareerTV to add valuable services to their site including job listings as well as new career videos (http://www.careertv.com/index.asp?RefID=200). In addition, CareerTV recruitment videos (http://www.careertv.com/employer/index.asp?RefID=200) will soon be seen on many of the employer pages of AfterCollege and CollegeGrad.com.

"Another significant change is the streamlining of the registration process for job seekers at CareerTV?s website. This improvement enables job seekers to quickly and easily take full advantage of all of CareerTV?s services, as well as get updates on industries and careers you are most interested in," concludes Buttimer, "This is just the start - look for a lot more enhancements in the next few weeks on the site."
