Katrina Recovery Job Connection is a new Web site resource focused on 
supporting the transition back into employment for individuals impacted by 
Hurricane Katrina.  The site's purpose is to connect job seekers with 
employers for either new permanent employment or for jobs related to the 
clean-up, recovery and rebuilding process in hurricane-impacted 
areas.  While the site is intended to complement efforts at the state and 
local levels, it is also intended to make individuals evacuated to other 
states aware of opportunities in their home state.

The site allows employers to post jobs and job seekers to search for job 
opportunities and post their resumes:

·       Job Seekers/General Jobs:  This search method allows individuals 
who have been impacted by Hurricane Katrina to search for jobs that 
employers have posted specifically for Katrina-impacted individuals 
nationwide.  Individuals can find job opportunities listed in their home 
state, as well as in their new state.

·       Job Seekers/Recovery Jobs:  This search will allow individuals to 
search for temporary clean-up, recovery and/or reconstruction jobs in the 
hurricane recovery areas.  This will include cleanup jobs that are created 
through public National Emergency Grant funding, as well as private sector 
opportunities related to the re-establishment of infrastructure and 
community services.

·       Employers:  Employers who have jobs that are supporting hurricane 
recovery efforts or want to hire workers impacted by the hurricane can post 
opportunities on this site, as well as search the resumes of 
Katrina-impacted individuals.

To post a job or search available job listings, the Katrina Recovery Job 
Connection can be found at http://www.jobsearch.org/katrinajobs or through 
America's Job Bank at www.ajb.org and click on Katrina Jobs.
