The Employment Guide® Announces the Redesign of

EmploymentGuide.com

Norfolk, VA, May 15, 2007 - The Employment Guide® (www.EmploymentGuide.com), a division of Dominion Enterprises, today announced the redesign of its online job board, EmploymentGuide.com (www.EmploymentGuide.com). By surveying job seekers, clients and internal staff, the site pinpointed what its users wanted most.

"The truly exciting part of EmploymentGuide.com's new look is where the creative direction came from," said Jack Webber, regional manager of The Employment Guide. "This redesign intends to improve the overall usability of our job board. We solicited input from our user base, clients, industry experts and our employees to assist us in developing a more efficient site. This combination of viewpoints ensured that all users of our site were represented, and the result is a simple-to-use site that delivers job seekers and employers information in a variety of ways."

The homepage was redesigned using four centralized buttons to link visitors directly to the areas of the site visited most often: the application process, nationwide job fair listings, work at home opportunities and the education center. New keyword search functionality, powered by the Google Search Appliance, allows job seekers to search for available positions by specific location or job title and it displays the results faster and more accurately.

EmploymentGuide.com also features social media components including The Spot-a job blog featuring informative articles by The Employment Guide staff and other industry professionals-and a video center that features more than 60 industry videos outlining basic job requirements for positions in those industries. This will be expanded over the course of the year to each of EmploymentGuide.com's featured city's pages.

"We have incorporated the major functionalities of Web 2.0, and plan to continue development of our site in order to meet the needs of our job seekers and clients," said Jeff Littlejohn, Vice President/General Manager of The Employment Guide.

For the last three years, EmploymentGuide.com has won the coveted WEDDLE's User Choice Award (http://www.weddles.com/awards/). Selected by job seekers, recruiters, and industry leaders alike, award recipients are Web sites that provide the best level of service and value to their visitors and help others make the best use of employment resources online. Peter Weddle, CEO & publisher of WEDDLE's LLC, said of the site, "The new EmploymentGuide.com is sleek, intuitive and helpful-the kind of site that works for you, whether you're a job seeker, an employer or a recruiter."

In conjunction with its nationwide print publications, EmploymentGuide.com is a competitive job board for hourly and skilled job seekers and a recruitment solution for employers.
