“Microsoft has posted 72 job openings in Washington since layoffs announced”
Posted by Benjamin J. Romano

SNIPPET: “A week ago, Microsoft announced its first companywide layoff, letting go 1,400 people as part of a plan to cut up to 5,000 jobs in the next 18 months. But the company made clear it would continue hiring, perhaps 2,000 to 3,000 people, in strategically important areas. And judging by its U.S. online jobs site, it intends to. A search of the site for positions in Washington state brought back 72 openings posted since Jan. 22, the day the layoffs were announced.”

I’ve met a couple of people lately who are marketing themselves on Craigslist as handymen, and making $75k (not bad for here in FL).

Great idea, Thanks!

It’s a tough job market out there. Employers don’t always have the time or money to train new workers. They’re looking for people with specialized skills who can take the initiative and jump right into a job.

D.C. Nat’l Guard needs folks.

I went to a job search class and here’s what I found out.

Apparently 80% of jobs are filled by current employees or someone knows someone, and the number is going up. There is a business/social site called Linked In that basically gives you electronic networking on a “Six degrees of separation” methodology, up to 3 levels automatically. For instance, I know Bob and Bob knows Jim. I can ask Bob for reference/recommendation and access to Jim. Or Bob-Jim-the queen of Sheba. And there’s another called Simply Hired that aggregates all the jobs that are out in public domain – JobDango, Monster.com, the Oregonian, etc, so you only need to look one place.

There’s a form filler called roboform that you can use to fill out applications.

Last but not least, when you’re doing an electronic resume, apparently some employers use electronic means to filter out who they might want to interview. If you want to get more words onto the filtering mechanism that aren’t in your resume’, you can put them on the document and then use white font. The electronic filter will “see it” and the potential employer won’t.

Blessings and best wishes to those who are looking for work.
