What are the preferred job search web sites/resources?

Jan 23, 2011 | 3

I belong to the LinkedIn group PROS in Workforce and Economic Development, closed to industry professionals. I really enjoy some of the dynamic conversations and resources that are shared among members. However, once in a while it becomes painfully obvious to me how much of a divide there is between the work and understanding of many workforce development professionals and the work of Corporate America...…

Jan 08, 2011 |  

I would like to call to your attention the most effective ways to use Twitter with Facebook and LinkedIn together. Hint: It is NOT to have every single tweet show up in your friends and contacts time lines on all three of these mediums like an echo in the Grand Canyon. …

You pour your all into your job, give your blood, sweat and tears. You toil long hours of self-sacrifice just to put generic store brand wheat flakes in the kids' breakfast bowl. Then one sad but sunny day on your off-time, you take a walk downtown, join a protest and burn a religious text. That'll show 'em.... …

Aug 29, 2010 | 10

Zombie job seekers feed off of retweets of their online profiles and are slaves to bokors who promise magical coincidental instances of the right recruiter online at the perfect moment.

My mom sent me this email today that made me want to puke. You may have seen this before. It was sent to her by a friend. It was forwarded several times and due to poor email etiquette it afforded me the opportunity to stand on a soapbox much like I do here, but to a very different audience - one that has never heard me or heard of me before. Perhaps it will make a difference, perhaps not, but not for lack of effort on my part...…
