What a day!
Well today is 23 June, an important day in history for two reasons. Firstly it is my blogoversary! 23 June 2004 I typed up my first post on Blogger. I decided on Blogger after failing to get MoveableType up and running after a couple of weeks of trying. I suspect it was me not theContinue reading “What a day!”
hrblogs.org back up and running
After several hours of research, bug fixing and testing I have got hrblogs.org back up and running. Sorry if the outage has impacted you in any way.
Server Offline
Over the last 24 hours my hosting provider has been having problems with their environments. It seems they have been over run by spam and phishing attacks which has brought some of the servers down. We are back up at the moment! This problem is also impacting hrblogs.org (still having problems) and community.hrblogs.org, sorry forContinue reading “Server Offline”
Another job board for Australia
There must be something in the water because I received an email late last week announcing a new International Job Board (in Beta), recruit.net which covers Australia at australia.recruit.net, along with Japan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and India. What is really interesting is this seems to be a vertical search play! I really like theContinue reading “Another job board for Australia”
Australian IT job board
Just caught that a new IT job board launched last week, gurus.com.au from the team at NowHiring. You can read about the launch at the NowHiring blog. What I like about the tool is it has combined both jobs and resumes in an easy to use interface, while not the first to do this butContinue reading “Australian IT job board”
Do you really need a resume?
Following my post on Resume 2.0, Robert Scoble posts that the resume is dead! (Ok I have taken some poetic license here.) A recruiter from Yahoo has been courting him for a few months now, but continually wants a resume. One of the emails is from a Yahoo recruiter who has been talking with meContinue reading “Do you really need a resume?”
Resume 2.0
Ok this one came from the Careers Channel over at the new Netscape site. With everything being 2.0 these days I guess it wasn’t long before Resume 2.0 came along. Vianney Lecroart a 30 year old French developer has created a resume based on Web 2.0 features and ideas. To quote Vianney:- I’m a 30Continue reading “Resume 2.0”

AOL copies DIGG and relaunches Netscape.com
One of the big technology stories going around today (not the one about Bill Gates) is the AOL relaunch of Netscape.com, currently at beta.netscape.com, long the same lines as Digg. The site relies on member participation to vote on stories, this provides a pulse on what is hot at the moment. I was going toContinue reading “AOL copies DIGG and relaunches Netscape.com”
