Women’Sports Services to expand
HUNTINGTON
BEACH, CA (October 14, 2002).
Women’Sports Services, the parent company of
WomenSportsJobs.com & WomenSportsCareers.com, has announced
it will commit additional resources to the area of career
development in 2003.
According
to Mary Lou Youngblood, COO, the company’s online career
center has grown at a continuous and healthy pace since its
inaugural launch in September of 2000.
“Based on the interest in our career services and the
growing need to support the retention of women in sports related
careers, we felt the time was right for our company to make this
move,” said Youngblood.
The
company’s unique and creative websites provide a multitude of
new services for both the sports industry job seeker and the
employer. Job seeker services include a nationwide database of job
listings, career seminars, resume rewriting services and career
consultation. Employer
services range from job postings, job blast services, access to
a female-targeted resume bank, customized candidate searching
and employer diversity partnership opportunities.
The
websites have become an “online matchmaking hub” for both
female job seekers and sports industry employers.
Over 5,000 new resumes are being submitted monthly by
individual qualified female candidates interested in sports
related careers. Areas of concentration include, sales & marketing, public
relations, new media, health & fitness, coaching, athletic
administration and a variety of other sports related fields.
The company also plans to provide additional services for
female athletes in 2003.
“There
is no reason an employer should not be able to find a qualified
female candidate to fill their sports related positions.
The women are available, interested and qualified,”
says Becky Heidesch, Founder & CEO, Women’Sports Services.
Women’Sports
Services, launched in 1995 with the Women’Sports Wire and
Women’Sports Job Wire, currently manages the online career
centers, WomenSportsJobs.com and WomenSportsCareers.com.
