Building and using job boards are two different things
I’m building a marimba. I’ve been a musician for years (although not a marimba player) but have never – until now – built an instrument. Believe me, building is different from playing. It helps to be a musician if you are creating an instrument – but the mindset is quite different. You’re worried about the ‘how’ – i.e., how high does that key need to be above the resonator to amplify without altering the pitch. You’re... Job Board Doctor -

Job Boards Still Evolving After all These Years
Job boards have been declared dead or dying so often that keeping track of the pronouncements is about as easy as counting the number of job boards in the world. Google comes up with 222,000 references for a search on the keywords: “job board”, dead OR dying. Yet, for all that, the number of job boards is proliferating and there are still plenty of believers in the model ready to launch more. A good part of the recent debate over the .jobs domain expansion was about DirectEmployers... ERE Job Boards -

The Hard Facts in International Recruiting
My younger brother Barak got married August 12, 2010. When we were growing up, the thing I knew for sure was that I hated him. It was the “hard fact.” There was no way around it. I hated him. Every time he said something I wanted to kill him (and obviously the other way around is true), and this picture is one of the few that I found when we were smiling and hugging. Later I seem to have managed to always have someone stand between us (quite like I see with my own kids these days). But... ERE Corporate Careers -

Employ Media is looking for a few — or more — good ideas for how best to make use of the newly expanded addressing possibilities of the .jobs domain. This isn’t the formal RFP process that was outlined in Employ Media’s expansion proposal. Rather, it’s more of a 30,000-foot brainstorming opportunity. “High level business concepts” is what the licensed operator of the .jobs domains says on a new website it’s looking for.
