CareerBuilder.com launched an online job center at the new Classifieds Channel at MSNBC.com. The new center is an extension of CareerBuilder.com's exclusive five-year partnership with MSN.

"Our job center at MSNBC.com builds on the success of our partnership with MSN," said Matt Ferguson, President and CEO of CareerBuilder.com.

This new partnership with MSNBC.com enables us to deliver greater value to the employers and job seekers who depend on our services to meet business performance and career goals."

"With the economy and job market improving, the new career center is a valuable component of the MSNBC.com Classifieds Channel," said Charlie Tillinghast, General Manager and Publisher, MSNBC.com. "MSNBC is a leading Web destination for breaking news and information and working with CareerBuilder.com, one of the top online recruitment resources in the country, our users will be able to leverage the expertise of both organizations to drive their businesses and careers forward."

Owned by Tribune Company, Gannett and Knight Ridder, CareerBuilder.com combines the distribution power of online and print. The company powers the career sites for more than 400 partners with over 1,200 Web sites reaching national, local, industry and niche audiences, including MSN.

The new job center provides MSNBC.com users with smart online tools to simplify and expedite the job search process. Job seekers can search for salaried and hourly jobs by industry, location and job type and sign up for Job Alerts that automatically email opportunities to them on a preferred day. They can also access advice on everything from resumes and interviews to salary negotiations and career management, and tap into resources to help increase their marketability to potential employers.
