doctorjob.com, the graduate careers website, has been named Best-designed Business Website at the AOP (Association of Online Publishers) Interactive Publishing Awards 2002. This is the second national publishing award doctorjob.com has won in six months, having earned the accolade of Interactive Business and Professional Magazine of the Year at the PPA (Periodical Publishersí Association) Awards for Editorial and Publishing Excellence in May.
The judges at the awards, which were presented at a ceremony in London on October 9, praised doctorjob.com for its ëclear designí, which íreally hits the target marketí. doctorjob.com, which was launched in 2000 by GTI Specialist Publishers, was one of 15 winners in different categories including Guardian Unlimited, eFinancial News and Reed Business Information. The awards received over 150 entries.
The site, which takes its friendly yet authoritative personality from its ëvirtual editorí, doctorjob, aims to give its target audience of students and recent graduates a fun, humorous and interactive experience, while providing them with useful careers information and advice. doctorjob.com features a new-look homepage every week, highlighting the changing content of the site and acting as a weekly magazine ëcoverí. Each week doctorjob responds to the Zeitgeist, commenting on topical news items such as Big Brother or the World Cup.
Simon Minter, art director of the doctorjob.com site, says: ìIt''s a great feeling for a small, independent, niche publisher to take on household name publishing giants - and beat them! More importantly, it sets us above our competitors in the graduate recruitment marketplace.î
