I wrote several weeks back that I was going to make and send Holiday cards this Christmas. If you'd like one, please .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) your snail mail address and leave a comment that you've done so. I'd like to get them in the mail the first week of December.

One of the things that has been really upsetting during this job hunting period of my life has been the daily combing of my list of Internet job sites. I don't know how many times I've clicked on a promising job only to find it's some headhunter that has no real job to offer and simply wants my resume for his database. Lots of times, you don't even know what company the job listing is for. It's hard to convince a potential boss that you're right for their company when you don't know who they are or what they really do. Don't even get me started on the work at home scams that I have to sift through. C'mon, if you could easily make $12,000 a month using only your computer, everybody would already be doing it. Geez. Anyway, I came across another site to add to my list: GetTheJob.com. The site indexes jobs from company job boards, so supposedly only real job postings for real open positions. I'm reserving judgment on that claim as I've been to many company's sites to look for open positions only to find they aren't very diligent about keeping their job posting pages up-to-date. Regardless, it's one more resource I can check daily.
