by: Lynn Hawkins

Gale recently announced major enhancements to Career Transitions, its online career service tool. The features include a new user interface, reporting tools for gauging user activity and additional job-seeking and career exploration activities. New features include interactive interview practice, matching experience to new careers, and report generation based on career search trends and specific advice sought by users. Other additions include updates for more than 1,100 careers; 1,000 videos including “Day in the Life” interviews with people in different fields; spotlights on new and emerging careers, as well as green careers; a career ladder that positions similar opportunities according to education/training level; and an education/training finder to match careers with education and training programs from post-secondary institutions and online continuing education courses. Enhancements were implemented based on extensive customer and user feedback.
