Just Be

A NEW JOB SITE just for women is set to shake up the online employment industry with major recruiters, corporations and female job seekers supporting its arrival. Just Be specifically targets working women, particularly career mothers looking to reenter the workforce and executive women looking to shatter that glass ceiling.

With a skills crisis facing Australia and a growing industry focus on diversity, EOWA Director, Anna McPhee says “more organisations are realising that women bring significant benefits and opportunities to the workplace and are encouraging a greater participation of women across the board.”

So for many, Just Be has come at just the right time. Just Be’s Executive Director, Lisa Pititto, says the site will help employers reach more women and give women access to jobs and the right resources to manage their careers.

“With women now making up almost 45% of the workforce and growing faster than men, Just Be specifically caters to expanding women’s job opportunities and supporting them throughout their careers, beyond the job finding stage,” Ms Pititto said.

“The way in which women and men manage and seek to advance their careers is quite different, as are our needs and the kind of support & networks we look for,” she said.

“Just Be has been designed with this in mind. We provide women with tailored career resources, tips and information from industry leaders, inspiring stories on other working women, networking and an interactive online forum, along with jobs from employers supporting equal opportunity.

“Unfortunately women are still under represented in many industries and fields particularly at senior management levels, so accessing the right support and information is crucial, Ms Pititto said.

Just Be has over 7000 jobs online and a growing database of female subscribers. Major supporters include: ANZ, BankWest, IBM, Link Recruitment, Robert Half, Michael Page and major women’s networks such as Women’s Network Australia (WNA), Australian Federation of Business & Professional Women (BPW) & Network Central.
