It's Not work, But It Is Experience

[eggwards]

As I was sitting around the house either filling out job applications on line, or watching the Price Is Right on the couch, I thought, you know, I ought to share some of the junk I'm learning, or relearning about looking for a job. this was especially true today at a job fair (ugh) when I was talking to a couple of other bears about their job search and what they go out of todays activities.

So lo and behold I found an outlet for it. Shannon plaghs is looking to take the btalkworld.com website in a new direction and is looking to add different voices and experiences (a sort of This Bear-merican Life, if you will - my pun, not his.) I asked if I could blog about my job search there. He said he liked the idea. My first article just went up. Go and see if I'm on the right track, OK?

Yes, I don't find Monster or Career Builder all that helpful. I guess I would need to set up better screens for that. I've been using some other aggregators for more of my search, as well as going to individual company sites where I can see all of their positions. so far that's been much more successful.

I look at the blog as a bit of "here's some tips" but not expert advice, sort of a cautionary tale. I think from a writing standpoint it's a good angle.

I agree! Good job!
