Affinity of Culture and Community Fuels Exponential Growth
CHICAGO, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- AMightyRiver.com http://www.amightyriver.com, reached the one million unique visitors per month mark on September 1. Distinguished by solely professional (rather than social) online networking, AMightyRiver.com is the premiere community for Black professionals, spotlighting jobs (currently more than 100,000) posted by blue chip companies that are committed to filling their pipeline with talented diverse candidates. Founded by Chicago-based social entrepreneurs who care deeply about equal access and economic empowerment, AMightyRiver.com offers a host of job tools that are completely free.
The online networking phenomenon has clearly been driving our cultural, political and economic lives. It took a digital army to put Barack Obama into the White House. It was out of necessity that a series of very different cultures conceived today's iconic Websites, tailoring them to distinct groups, from musicians (MySpace) to college students (Facebook) to LinkedIn, where they could separate their social personas from the professional. But diverse communities still were not finding their needs met in a "one-size-fits-all" environment.
Enter AMightyRiver.com with its rich Black culture, collegial environment and the tools needed to add muscle to the professional networking experience. Because they are part of the same community, Black professionals can now find supportive mentors and like-minded members who are inclined to open up a door, make an introduction to a minority-friendly loan officer or watch for a job posting within their company for a trusted and valued colleague.
With the dwindling job market and unemployment benefits running out, quick access to free career tools and valuable contacts and mentors has made www.AMightyRiver.com an important destination for ambitious Black professionals. The added value of AMightyRiver's comprehensive Web platform enables it to build customized "micro-sites" free of charge for large and prestigious professional organizations - exponentially enhancing the pool of available mentors and industry-specific experts. Coming soon: video resumes, live video job interviews, and a host of other engaging features.
