What's New
***************************************
Front Page
This week's rant and rave is about the recession and its tangible effects on others (http://www.thejobfairy.com/index.htm). Last week's article was bitching about Randy Cohen's so-called ethics (http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_10_06_archive.html#82620158). There was a piece on the ideal office (http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_09_29_archive.html#82294411), an irresponsible look at the joys of an economic downturn (http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_09_22_archive.html#81980063), and sober, responsible piece on time, money and effort (we're so Puritan over here at The Job Fairy...) (http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_09_08_archive.html#81340305).

Weblog
What recruiters really think of you (http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_09_08_archive.html#81342797) and the latest in recruiter scams (http://www.thejobfairy.com/2002_09_22_archive.html#82093509).

Hot Skill of the Month
September's skill is operating systems (http://www.jobfairy.com/hot_skill_of_the_month.htm). Now that you've been learning about Linux, try looking at all the others. There's Solaris, Windows, OS X, HP-UX - which is only the tip of the iceberg. Learning multiple OSs is what we over here at jobfairy.com call a "money" skill. You can command a much greater rate of pay the more operating systems you know.
***************************************
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:
Create Something From Nothing
How to kick start the process of getting raises
Openly Repair The Walkway, Secretly March to Chencang
Getting your way even when the odds seem against it
Observe the Fire on the Opposite Shore
Playing your bosses off against each other to your advantage
Hide Your Dagger Behind a Smile
Screwing people over in the nicest way possible
Sacrifice the Plum Tree In Place of the Peach
Strategic firing in the name of productivity
***************************************
You Should Read This
Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider - the Rules (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0446602744/qid=1026963098/sr=2-3/jobfairyorg-20). Wow. The Masters. Read, re-read, and absorb the wisdom. How to re-acquire power in a male-dominated environment where they usually call all the shots. NOT, as some would say, anti-feminist. If you make that mistake, you're not "getting it".
