This is more or less a newsletter for job seekers like myself.  I try to find good job search strategies, bad job search strategies, pure BS and job related articles every week.  So far I’ve never run short.  Please pass this around. I’m not doing this for any reason other than the desire to help and communicate with other job seekers.  If you have any good links or stories, especially stories please comment.  If you want the story private, just put that in the comment and I will trash it and  not let it post.

Hard Computers And Fuzzy People

I was thinking about ATS systems and how they worked while cutting the lawn the other day and I had an insight about them that I don’t think that people appreciate.  For a computer, there is no “maybe.” A computer is not a brain and the software program running defines everything as yes, or no.

How Much Are You Worth?

I had a call from a recruiter this morning and the call went the usual way unit the big. question. What did you make at your last job?  Now I don’t like to answer that question.  The first  thing recruiters and HR types want to seem to do is put people “in their place. The funny thing is that the last thing I would do is judge the value of somebody because of what somebody I didn’t know thought of them.  I can’t understand how these people are so willing to do something that is so stupid.  Somebody, who they don’t know opinion matters so much that they are willing to go to any length to get it.
