Advancing Women
While women's sites, such as iVillage.com
and BellaOnline have good career sections,
Advancing Women is an entire site devoted to
"business and career training, conferences,
diversity recruiting, and strategies to empower
success in the workplace" for women.
Advancing Women, winner of a Lycos Top 5% Award,
Dow Jones Award, Beatrice-Yahoo Top Site, and WWWomen
Best of Net, and listed in Femina as one of three top business
and career sites for women, is a skills-building
organization that provides coaching, mentoring, strategy
and support to empower women to route around traditional
choke points in their careers and to keep advancing to
the highest level of their capabilities. The site places
particular emphasis on the many ways technology overlays
a business and how it can be leveraged to advance one's career.
Site sections include Workplace, AW Career Center, Business
Community, International, Web, Money, News, Networking, Education,
Latina, Grrls, and Advancing Women in Leadership Journal, with in-depth
articles exploring women's issues written by educators.
While marred by some typos, Advancing Women is a bountiful
site for women seeking career success.
