On Monday EmploymentCrossing announced the launch of a new and exclusive job board dedicated to offering the best job opportunities for professionals seeking part-time job openings. PartTimeCrossing aims to consolidate every single part-time job opening it can find and put all of the jobs it locates in one place. The site’s more than 500 highly trained research analysts collect part-time job openings from virtually every career webpage, every job board, and all Fortune 500 companies.

Pasadena, CA — One needs to be smart to find the right job. But when looking for a part-time job, one needs to be even smarter. On Monday EmploymentCrossing (www.employmentcrossing.com) launched PartTimeCrossing (www.parttimecrossing.com) with more than 20,000 active part-time job openings. PartTimeCrossing is the only part-time job-opening research institution in the world. The site will be a boon for those nine-to-fivers who seek opportunities outside their current jobs and also for those looking for more flexible employment.

According to the US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, various high-paying jobs can be part-time jobs. The bureau lists high-paying occupations in which at least 20% of workers are part-timers. These workers had a median wage of more than $30 an hour in May 2006. PartTimeCrossing lists part-time job openings from various industries, such as recreation, hospitality, education, sales, marketing, writing, and real estate, to name a few.

''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 PartTimeCrossing. ''Job openings that are not widely known or publicized are the easiest jobs to get.''

Today employers have become more receptive to part-time schedules. Between 2000 and 2004 the number of workers in part-time management or professional occupations grew from 5.7 million to 6.4 million, as reported by US News & World Report. US News & World Report also cites a new study by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation that suggests that part-time work won’t lead to a dead-end career. The study followed more than 80 part-time professionals between 1996 and 2003. Most received at least one promotion and received pay increases comparable to those of workers who returned to full-time status.

Part-time jobs can be great options for people looking for flexible employment. But the difficult part is getting started. Since these jobs are not advertised much, it can be difficult to find the right job matching one’s interests and requirements. With its comprehensive list of part-time job openings, PartTimeCrossing is the ideal place to look for part-time job openings.

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

• Part-time jobs
• Work-from-home jobs
• Part-time computer jobs
• Part-time jobs in New Jersey
• Part-time and work-from-home jobs
• Part-time recreation jobs
• Part-time software jobs
• Online jobs
• Internet jobs
• Part-time teller jobs

Barnes emphasizes that PartTimeCrossing is committed to finding new sources of jobs daily.

''There are an astonishing number of part-time job openings out there. We want to find them all,'' he says.

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