MAYNARD, MA--July 11, 2001--Monster, the official online career management sponsor of the 2002 and 2004 U.S. Olympic Teams and the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, today announced the creation of the first ever career management website designed exclusively for U.S. Olympic athletes and Olympic hopefuls.

TeamUSAnet, a joint effort between Monster and the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), features an assortment of career management tools including a resume builder, job search access, an Olympic mentoring network, and other distinctive content that caters specifically to athletes. Monster is the leading global online careers site and flagship brand of TMP Worldwide (NASDAQ: TMPW).

Monster's expertise and experience in the career management industry has guided the development of TeamUSAnet, the first online community of its kind and a lasting resource that will benefit U.S. Olympic athletes and hopefuls for years to come. Through TeamUSAnet, Monster will host the first iFair (online career fair) to connect U.S. Olympic athletes and Olympic hopefuls with thousands of potential employers. Monster will also distinguish athletes' resumes in the resume database with the official mark of the United States Olympic Committee, the Laurel Wreath, which contains the USA/5-Ring mark.

"Olympic athletes embody Monster's `Never Settle' philosophy towards life and career, and TeamUSAnet helps U.S. Olympic athletes and Olympic hopefuls channel their competitive spirit and determination toward the pursuit of career and business opportunities," said Jeff Taylor, CEO of Monster.
