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.
