TULSA, Okla., Sept. 21, 2005 (PRNewswire) -- PennWell Corp., a leading publisher and conference organizer for the petroleum, power and utilities industries, will offer energy-industry employers directly affected by Hurricane Katrina free job postings on PennEnergyJOBS. Launched in August by PennWell, PennEnergyJOBS is an online employment website dedicated to serving the recruitment needs of both energy-industry employers and professionals, and can be accessed at: www.pennenergyjobs.com.
In the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, thousands of energy industry professionals in the Gulf region have been displaced. Many of these professionals have been evacuated to nearby states leaving energy employers in a position of having to rebuild their human capital. PennWell is contributing to this hiring effort by offering all energy-industry employers affected by Katrina the ability to post jobs on PennEnergyJOBS for free through the end of the year. This offer is being extended to all employers nationwide that have immediate hiring needs for energy professionals in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Posting resumes and applying for jobs is always free for job seekers on PennEnergyJOBS. Employers interested in posting employment openings should contact the PennEnergyJOBS sales staff at: 918-398-8026 or [email protected].
