Winter Internships Special

Beginning on the long holiday weekend and the rest of November, IMDiversity will be running a special for student and entry-level jobseekers visiting our site. Posted on our Internships and Coops page will be a number of Featured Internships, some of which are, yes, already coming up on application deadlines for the summer. For the industrious students looking to line up their ducks with plenty of lead-time, stop by and check them out. For the procrastinators among us, it looks like there are still some great employers accepting applications for spring as well, but they're going fast. If you don't see any you like right off the bat, try one of our pre-programmed internship quicksearches on that page to find more opportunities.

Introducing IMDiversity Featured Jobs

We are pleased to formally introduce our new IMDiversity Featured Jobs section, now available to help bring together the most active, direct employers and active jobseekers on our site. Offered by IMDiversity in beta form and refined since this spring, Featured Jobs was developed at the suggestion of the site's jobseeker-users and employers alike.

A prominently placed special jobs section linked throughout the extended IMDiversity.com network, Featured Jobs allows returning jobseekers quick, easy access to a shortlist of jobs posted by direct employers where the hiring managers have indicated their active interest in locating diverse candidates for the position. Because Featured Jobs are posted on IMDiversity by direct job posters, and not through automation, a position's appearance in this section lets you know that an employer has taken an extra, active step toward filling the position with qualified, diverse candidates.

For employers, including smaller and non-commercial organizations, it provides a chance to let your high-priority or time-sensitive job postings stand out from the pack. While still accessible in our regular database searches, your upgraded job posting allows you to spotlight a single opportunity in your organization that might otherwise get less notice in regular searches because of the high volume of jobs in search results.

Featured Jobs is accessible on nearly every page including our Villages, Career Center, blogs and even select partner sites. We encourage all users to visit the section, and as always to send us your feedback or ideas.
