COMPANIES POST PRIVACY JOBS FREE ON NEW EMPLOYMENT SITE
Introductory Rates Available for Advertisers

Hackensack, NJ//August 12, 2002 Companies have begun posting privacy job ads free on P&ABs P-JOBs the first online privacy employment website at www.pjobs.org. P-JOBs is offering companies the opportunity to post open privacy positions at no charge until October 1, 2002. Corporations, federal and state governments, and other organizations seeking to fill privacy and privacy-related positions in the U.S. and abroad may target their search to find qualified candidates who know or wish to enter the privacy arena. Search firms and recruiters may also advertise their services at special introductory rates.

Until its full-scale launch on September 3, P-JOBs will be temporarily housed at P&ABs website, pandab.org and then move to its own dedicated website. P&AB, which is currently accepting privacy job postings, will be advising their P&AB Members of these positions, as they are submitted, through a special email alert before being posted on P-JOBs.

Recruiters, staffing companies, and other executive search firms may advertise their services at a reduced rate available until October 1, 2002. Visit pandab.org/pjobs_ratecard.pdf for the P-JOBs rate card.

"There is a huge and growing demand from employers for professionals with privacy related experience and training," said Dr. Alan Westin, President and Publisher of Privacy & American Business. "Smart organizations are looking for both experienced and entry level privacy and privacy-related staffers to ensure confidence in their consumer and employee activities. We see this need as a growing one and are pleased to provide a place to serve both employers and job seekers."

The Privacy Job Opportunity Boards is divided into three units:

P-JOBs carries entry and mid to high level positions relating to privacy including HIPAA administration, HR administration, database management, legal counsel, marketing, corporate communications, new product development, and information security.

P-JOBs Plus is used to reach high level privacy executives or Chief Privacy Officers who are responsible for overseeing privacy for an entire organization, across industries.

P-Temps assists companies seeking temporary staff for special projects and as consultants.

With no registration required, P&AB invites job seekers to visit the site freely. After October 1, companies and other organizations may post their privacy employment opportunities on P-JOBs for a nominal fee, while recruiters, headhunters, and other executive search firms may advertise their services, as well as specific positions at discounted rates.

About Privacy & American Business

Privacy & American Business, (pandab.org & www.PrivacyExchange.org), is an activity of the non-profit Center for Social & Legal Research, a non-profit, non-partisan public policy think tank exploring U.S. and global issues of consumer and employee privacy and data protection since its launch in 1993.

Always on the cutting edge, P&AB was the first to chart and analyze for business the rise of privacy from a second-tier concern to a front-burner issue and to provide opportunities in programs and meetings to assist businesses in understanding the privacy environment as it is evolving. P&AB, a pioneer in recognizing the rise of the corporate privacy officer (CPO), was the first to open its CPO Program in 1999.

The Center and all its activities are led by Dr. Alan Westin, President and Publisher of P&AB; Robert Belair, Partner at Oldaker, Biden & Belair and P&ABs Vice President; and Lorrie Sherwood, P&ABs Executive Director.
