What's New
***************************************
Front Page
This week's rant and rave is about time, money, and effort (http://www.thejobfairy.com/index.htm). Last week's article was in defense of math (boy, if only my high school math teacher could read this now)(http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_09_01_archive.html#81074298). There was also a piece on the most popular job boards according to google.com (http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_08_25_archive.html#80709686) and the Employee Bill of Rights (http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_08_25_archive.html#80709648).
***************************************
Weblog
What hiring managers really think (http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_08_25_archive.html#80714289) and helpful tips for those who are looking for employment (http://www.thejobfairy.com/2001_10_21_archive.html#6610091).
***************************************
Hot Skill of the Month
September's skill is LINUX! The operating system that just keeps getting better and better and better! (http://www.jobfairy.com/hot_skill_of_the_month.htm). This should dovetail very nicely with all that Java you've been working on since last month. Website hosting on Linux is the only way to go, as MS platforms are as full of holes as Swiss cheese...
***************************************
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:
Await the Exhausted Enemy at Your Ease
Don't lose your focus - even firing can befall a Fairy
Loot a Burning House
Let your boss be distracted by other, more pressing concerns
Clamor in the East, Attack in the West
In addition to your identified enemies, HR is on that list too
***************************************
You Should Read This
Jodie-Beth Galos and Sandie McIntosh, Firing Back (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471180319/qid=1026960539/sr=1-1/jobfairyorg-20) - one of the best books about being fired there is. It's best to master what you need to do before it happens. You won't have time to react then.
***************************************
Don't Say I Never Gave You Nothin'
Got Template? (http://www.jobfairy.com/images/jobfairy_search_log.zip) - Still the best resume format around. You only need the one that works.
