What's New
***************************************
Front Page
This week's rant and rave is about the never-ending rollercoaster that _is_
employment in IT today. Unlike most other articles, this one will be moved
to the Corporate Survival section upon archive
(http://www.thejobfairy.com/jobcycle.htm).
Last week's rants are about the cynicism of corporate America
(http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_08_04_archive.html#80070843) in using the
events of 9/11 to further their own financial goals. And the other one is
humor piece about WorldCom
(http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_08_04_archive.html#80070981) <evil smirk>.
Having spent too dang many years in telecom, I'd be less than human if I
didn't come right out and admit how much I'm enjoying this.

Weblog
The difference between Job Fairies and others who dispense advice
(http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_07_28_archive.html#79525213). Also, a pithy
comment from when f'dcompany used to be good
(http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_05_05_archive.html#76435005), but it isn't
any more. Should've had Fairies and a moderator...!
***************************************
Hot Skill of the Month
July's skill is Java Beans
(http://www.jobfairy.com/hot_skill_of_the_month.htm). August's skill is (you
guessed it) classic Java and links to ongoing Java news stories. Very
timely - as platforms other than Windows gain market share, portability
becomes more than an academic exercise. This is what Job Fairies call a
"money" skill.
***************************************
The Art of War
This is a new section - (http://www.jobfairy.com/sun_tzu_01.htm) -
discussing the Art of War and how it applies to our modern circumstances.
Modern examples are posted every week. Newest examples to date:
Fool the Emperor to Cross the Sea
Giving notice without them noticing
Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao
How to stand up to the Barbie people of this world
Kill with a Borrowed Sword
The downfall of Martha Stewart
***************************************
You Should Read This
Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider, The Rules
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0446602744/qid=1026963098/sr=2-3/job
fairyorg-20). It's not just about getting a husband... It's about reclaiming
your power in a world dominated by men, which is certainly the case in
Information Technology.
***************************************
Don't Say I Never Gave You Nothin'
Got Template?
(http://www.jobfairy.com/images/jobfairy_resume_template.zip) - Still the
best resume format around. You only need the one that works.
