EmploymentCrossing, one of the world’s largest job-board operators, has recently announced the launch of TravelingCrossing. As part of the EmploymentCrossing job-site franchise, TravelingCrossing seeks to list every travel job in the United States in one convenient location. Using proprietary technology, TravelingCrossing monitors the travel job postings on other job boards, employer websites, and other sources and displays every single travel job it can find. TravelingCrossing’s goal is to show job seekers every travel job available.

Pasadena, CA  — In May 2006 there were 101,000 people in the United States working as travel agents, two thirds of whom worked for travel agencies, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Travel benefits, such as reduced rates for commuting, attract people to the profession. There are various types of jobs in the travel industry, including jobs for travel counselors, corporate travel agents, and travel clerks.

From airlines to cruise companies and from tour operations to retailers, TravelingCrossing (www.travelingcrossing.com) scours numerous employer websites and travel job boards to offer you the best career options available, including entry-level, executive, permanent, contract, and temporary employment opportunities in the travel industry. TravelingCrossing is the only travel job-opening research institution in the world whose mission is to track down every travel job opening through research, including lucrative positions at Fortune 500 companies.

According to Bureau of Labor Statistics predictions for the 2006-2016 decade, employment in the travel industry will not witness much growth. The demand for travel depends on economic factors and political fluctuations. However, since many people leave travel jobs after short stints, the need for newly recruited travel professionals will always exist.

“In this market it is extremely hard to get a job with a recruiter, and recruiters typically work with very few companies,” says Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of TravelingCrossing. “Job openings that are not widely known or publicized are the easiest jobs to get.”

TravelingCrossing was launched to help travel professionals sort out the opportunities that they might not discover otherwise. Unlike other job boards, the site focuses solely on travel-related jobs, and it does not charge employers to post jobs.

According to Barnes, the most popular searches on the site thus far have been:

• travel jobs
• jobs in travel
• travel sales jobs
• travel manager jobs
• travel consultant jobs
• hospitality travel jobs
• marketing travel jobs
• leisure travel jobs
• jobs in the travel industry
• travel industry jobs
• travel tourism jobs
• traveljobs.com
• travel and tourism jobs
• business travel jobs
• travel career jobs

“There is an astonishing number of travel job openings out there. We want to find them all,” Barnes says.

TravelingCrossing charges $29.95 a month to view its job-opening research. As part of the site’s launch special, however, TravelingCrossing is offering a free, seven-day trial to allow job seekers to familiarize themselves with the service.
