Atlanta, GA, February 10, 2005 – VetJobs (www.vetjobs.com), the nation’s largest military-related Internet job board exclusively endorsed by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States (VFW), has been named a 2005 User’s Choice Award winner by WEDDLE’s, a specialty publisher that produces the employment industry’s leading books analyzing Internet job boards. WEDDLE’s User’s Choice Award is the only award where the actual users – human resource personnel, recruiters and candidates – get to pick the winners. The award has been presented annually since 2001.
“We are very pleased to receive this prestigious recognition for two years in a row,” said VetJobs President Ted Daywalt. “Of all the awards and recognition VetJobs has received over the last five years, this is the most important. The WEDDLE’s User’s Choice Award is validation by the users that the VetJobs model for assisting veterans and their family members is correct! VetJobs and the VFW were there to help veterans when they needed it the most during this past recession.”
“These Awards are especially important right now as the country comes out of the recession and people are looking for jobs.” says WEDDLE’s Publisher Peter Weddle. “There are over 40,000 job boards and career portals in operation on the Internet. Knowing which sites offer the best services and support can spell the difference between success and failure, whether you are looking for a new job or for a new employee.” For a complete list of the 2005 winners of WEDDLE’s User’s Choice Awards, visit the Awards area at the WEDDLE’s web site (www.weddles.com).
Voting for the WEDDLE’s User’s Choice Award takes place each year at the WEDDLE’s web site. The User’s Choice Award is presented to the thirty (30) sites that receive the most votes during the calendar year. Job seekers, human resource personnel and recruiters may cast their ballot for any job board or career portal operating on the Internet. The popularity of the sites among the users is proof positive that the sites represent the elite of the online employment industry. Over 15,000 votes were cast for the 2005 award.
