At the CAREER EMPOWERMENT SUMMIT held at the Caribe Royale, CAREER DIRECTORS
INTERNATIONAL (CDI) selects CareerShift.com as 1st place winner of their
prestigious Career Innovator Award. The job seeker web service, CareerShift.com,
is "the most innovative and effective of all the career industry nominees",
according to CDI. This award represents CDI`s desire to give career
professionals a platform to demonstrate their expertise, innovation and
commitment to the career services industry.

In its first year presenting this award, CDI decided to select from any
submitted category, including career software, books, websites, job hunting
tools, games, training programs, outreach programs, etc., and judged them all
together to identify "the most innovative and valuable innovator to the careers
industry."

Val Matta, an Executive Vice President for the company accepted the award from
Laura DeCarlo, CDI`s President & Executive Director.

When asked why CareerShift?, Val Matta says, "CareerShift offers job seekers the
most comprehensive on-line resource available to job-hunters today. CareerShift
was created to support the number one request of job seekers: an easy-to-use web
resource to conduct and organize their job search."

CareerShift is now licensed by over 70 schools and universities which then offer
the career service to their students and alumni.

Companies also offer CareerShift as an affordable "virtual" outplacement service
and career builder to all employees; not just those employees who traditionally
have been offered similar, "bricks and mortar" outplacement services.

Professional Job search strategists, career coaches, and resume writers use
CareerShift with their clients. CareerShift's Partner Program has also just
launched coinciding with this award.
