FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Healthcare IT Central Announces the Launch of Its New Healthcare IT Workforce and Career Development Blogging Channel
February 4, 2010 – HealthcareITCentral.com, a leading online career center and job board destination for Healthcare IT job seekers and employers, has launched HealthcareITToday.com,a new blogging channel that will focus exclusively on Healthcare IT workforce and career development topics and discussions.Led by Editor Gwen Darling, a writer and blogger for Healthcare Informatics magazine and CEO of HealthcareITCentral.com,HealthcareITToday.com will feature posts from the “HITT SQUAD,” an experienced team of Healthcare IT industry experts who are able to provide a well-rounded insider’s look at all aspects of Healthcare IT workforce and career development, from both the job seekers’ and employers’ perspectives.
HealthcareITToday.com was created to provide answers to the growing numbers of professionals who are either already working in Healthcare IT and looking for a new opportunity, or are interested in becoming part of this red-hot industry, which is estimated to grow by upwards of 50,000 professionals in an accelerated timeframe. “We’ve done a great job at HealthcareITCentral.com providing a job board, resume database, and multi-channeled marketing options for Healthcare IT employers to reach potential candidates, but from the number of questions about the industry we (and our employer clients) are receiving from job seekers, it became apparent that an important component was missing, not just on our site, but in the industry overall.By collectively engaging the talents and experience of the HealthcareITToday.com blogging team, we will provide a centralized resource where both Healthcare IT job seekers and employers will get their questions answered.”
In addition to providing tips and insight into the best way for a Healthcare IT candidate or employer to approach the “typical” types of workforce development topics such as sourcing, recruiting, interviews, resumes, and career development, the “HITT SQUAD” will cover Healthcare IT-specific content such as educational options, social media strategies, and available job opportunities. Joining Gwen Darling, are SQUAD members: Tim Tolan, a senior executive search consultant who specializes in Healthcare IT, Jacob Rhoades, the director of talent management for a large Healthcare IT staffing firm, Erin Kennedy CPRW, a certified resume writer, Shirley Corsey, an EPIC consultant/road warrior, and online EMR trainer, Joe Lavelle, an accomplished consulting executive and business coach, and Joshua Waldman, a social media for job seekers consultant and trainer.Furthermore, two blogging series will round out the lineup – “Day in the Life,” which provides a living, breathing job description through the eyes of a Healthcare IT professional, and “Diary of a Job Seeker,” following the journey of a job seeker from the beginning of his/her search to its successful end.
Darling concludes, “Looking for a job and/or starting a new career can often be a cold, impersonal experience. The members of our blogging team were recruited based not only on the depth and breadth of their experience, but on their ability to provide information and insight using a warm, welcoming approach, as well.We’re excited about rounding out the Healthcare IT Central Career Center with the human side of Healthcare IT workforce development, and look forward to engaging with our readers.”
