CareerPath.com Builds 'Stickiness' Using eShare's Award-Winning Expressions Chat Technology

CareerPath.com Adds Real-Time Chats with Career Management and Industry Experts, Bulletin Boards to Encourage Frequent Visits

Commack, NY, and Los Angeles, CA — June 22, 1999 — CareerPath.com (www.careerpath.com), a leading career management Web site, has teamed with eShare Technologies to add new features that make it easy for its visitors to interact with career experts and each other.

Using eShare Expressions® Interaction Suite, CareerPath.com will host live chat events with career counselors and industry experts, educating visitors about everything from office basics for the modern workplace, to distance learning trends, to diversity issues in the workplace, and more. Upcoming events at CareerPath.com include an event with Carl Shusterman, an immigration lawyer, who will host a chat entitled "H-1B Cap Reached: Finding Your Personal Escape Route" on Monday, June 28 at 6:00 p.m. Pacific. Transcripts are posted online at the conclusion.

CareerPath.com's new Bulletin Boards give business professionals a sounding board on which they can share their experiences with others and meet people who might one day become their colleagues. Topics include, "Finding the Hidden Job Market," "Women in the Workplace," "Show me the Money" (how to negotiate a killer salary), and spotlights on IT professionals and sales & marketing professionals.

"The eShare-powered chats and message boards are a significant addition to our site," said Ben Bellinson, senior vice president of product management and marketing, for CareerPath.com. "eShare's technology and Internet expertise are helping us add an element of community interaction to our already powerful line-up of content and services. CareerPath.com visitors can not only search the Internet's largest database of most current job listings, post their resume and conduct industry research, but they now can also seek out the wisdom of experts and other job hunters without having to turn anywhere else."

"CareerPath.com recognizes that adding 'stickiness' - in other words, aggregating content and services that encourage repeat visits - is the way to build brand loyalty on the Web," explains Glenn Reyer, Vice President of Marketing for eShare. "Once the exclusive domain of the portal sites, community features like real-time chat and message boards are popping up on hundreds of Web sites because they offer added value to both the site and the site's users. CareerPath.com is a step ahead of many other Web sites and we're excited to be adding value as a technology partner."
