Job search: 5 tips for keeping in touch without being annoying
The job hunting world can be a lonely place, particularly if you are ‘between jobs’. ?It can be very dispiriting and, paradoxically, distracting when everyone else has left the house for the day and left you on your own. These are not feelings you want when trying to stay focused on your search for a job. A good way to avoid isolation is to keep in touch with the people in your network, including any recruitment consultants you may be dealing with. Apart from reducing loneliness, doing this he
Fatherhood educational institute
Father’s Day is almost always a little bittersweet for me, as it marks the end of a week long fly fishing trip with my Dad to Northern Michigan. I hate for the trip to be over, but there’s no better way to celebrate the holiday than having spent a week with my Dad doing what we love—catching fish. Last year I searched high and low to bring you a post about the National Fatherhood Initiative , and this year it wasn’t easy to find another Dad related non-profit. Lucky for you, I came across the

Tough times for restaurant owners on craigslist
Everyone knows it’s a tough time for the restaurant industry, but to find out just how tough, you might want to check out the food/beverage/hospitality job listings on Craigslist. Two posts went up late yesterday, and they paint a grim picture. The first is from the owner of an Annisquam restaurant space who is so desperate to rent his or her 45 seat space on a marina that s/he is offering it rent-free. It’s fully furnished and on the water. You’re responsible for the utilities, but this is stil

Post ads on craigslist by paper100
I need to have my job listings posted to Craigslist in 50 different cities (USA) that can be re-run on an ongoing basis. Must be done by a person, not automated. This project includes servicing these listings daily to keep them up, not ghosted, and in a favorable position for one week… (Budget: $30-250, Jobs: [...]
Beta watch
RumoursFinal Fantasy XIV Beta For September?By Luke Plunkett on June 23, 2009 at 5:30 PM Certainly looks that way, with job listings on Square Enix’s European website asking for a whole bunch of new game “masters”, all of them due to start work in just over two month’s time.The vacancy listings are asking for people familiar with MMOs and Final Fantasy XI in particular. The fact there are so many of them, and they’re all due to start work in “mid-September” points to a public beta (they’ve got t
Essential job tips – before you look for a job
It’s important to be clear about your reasons for wanting to change jobs. In this way you can firstly determine whether making the move is the right course of action for you and, secondly, you will be asked by potential future employers the reasons you are leaving your old job. The answers you give and the impression you create are vital.

10 kickin’ twitter feeds for procrastinators
For as many beneficial uses of Twitter there are, there are just as many ways to use it to burn time. Supposed to be job hunting, writing a carefully crafted cover letter, or actually working? Sometimes some of us (meaning me) just spend time, well, twittering. Let’s not take for granted that Twitter is called Twitter, not “Enlightener”, “Pulitzer”, or “Useful Way to Spend Your Time”. So for those of you looking to truly twitter away some time (notice this post instead of job listings?), here ar
Video: hands-on with sprxmobile’s layar augmented reality browser for android
We had a chance to go hands-on with Layar, the new augmented reality browser from SPRXmobile. Launched yesterday on Android Market in The Netherlands, we were curious to see how the software, that looked damn-impressive in the promo video , would function in actual use, in this case, from the living room of SPRXmobile’s Maarten Lens-FitzGerald just outside of Amsterdam. Our take? it’s the real-deal, especially for a v1 release. The software looks rock-solid and the initial data layers — ATMs, so
