Internet Brands, a leading Internet media company that operates community and e-commerce web sites in the automotive, career, and home, shopping, and travel categories, has scooped up two more job-related sites.

During their Q4 financial call the company said they acquired two new job sites during the fourth quarter in 2008, GrooveJob.com and CVTips.com.

GrooveJob.com focuses on part-time, seasonal, and hourly jobs. The site, which launched in 2001, includes sections for teen jobs, student jobs, summer jobs, and internships for students in addition to an online job resource center that provides advice for job seekers. The Columbus-based company was previously owned by David Hunegnaw.

CVTips.com is an online job search information center that specializes in providing users with information and tips on writing CVs, resumes and cover letters, and also features articles about job searching, interviewing and general career management topics.

Internet Brands did not say what each site cost but said the total amount of the four web sites they acquired in the fourth quarter, including two in different verticals, totaled $2.8 million.
