Crash, Boom, Yikes!
Dear friends;
Last week, the server Landed.fm was hosted on fried. Burned to the
ground, blew up, fractured — i.e. is no longer with us; along with much
of the
content in the database. This was 9.0 on the Richter Scale.
We are in the process of trying to resurrect as much of the content as
possible (beginning with the interviews). There are
a total of two people working on this site part-time - and one of them
couldn't write a line of decent computer code if his life depended upon
it.
We do have some great new interviews coming this week, so please be
patient while we continue to clean up the mess and re-stock the shelves.
Peter Clayton.

(Dot) Jobs Approved
Gerry Crispin in his blog, The CareerXroads Annex reports that ICANN has approved a new internet domain .jobs. According to Gerry, this is a big deal because "Only legit companies with real jobs can obtain this
.com analog for jobs. Monster of course can get monster.jobs but, only
for the page where its own jobs resides, not for directing job seekers
to its clients jobs. Same for Adecco, Manpower and 20,000 other 3rd
party staffing firms. Hmmm might be a discussion or two on the horizon."
Gerry's complete article can be found here.

 The New York Times, April 3, 2005
-
"Here is the dirty little secret that no C.E.O. wants to tell you: they
are not just outsourcing to save on salary. They are doing it because
they can often get better-skilled and more productive people than their
American workers."

Does
Everyone Hate Their Jobs?According to the stats and articles
we continue to see, just about everyone is ready for a new job. Louise
Fletcher of Blue Sky Resumes, sites an article in her blog titled "Bidding
Farewell to That Miserable Job," written by Mary Ellen Slayter in the
Washington
Post "Career
Track" series.
Is this an Epidemic?
The Washington Post article one of many we've seen in recent
months.
In February, the Conference
Board issued a report
that said "Americans are growing increasingly unhappy with their
jobs... The decline in job satisfaction is widespread among workers of
all ages and across all income brackets." We'll have an interview with
Lynn Franco, the author of the report on totalpicture.com this
Wednesday.
