Free Career Book for You!

The 21st Century Job Search Guide For The Perplexed by Mary Elizabeth Bradford (a.k.a. TheCareerArtisan.com) is short, sweet, and terrific guide to the "new" job search (which isn't new, it is just continually evolving). You may recognize Mary Elizabeth's name because I link to several articles she has written on job search and resume preparation. This ebook (in PDF format, so no Nook or Kindle necessary) explains what you need to do and how to improve your job search quickly. It's only 30 pages, fully understandable by those who are not so Internet savvy, and even great for college students. And right now you can download your copy for free! Quick, get yours before she comes to her senses. And tell all your friends!

December 29, 2011

As promised, the final update for 2011.

Status of the Backlog: When I return next week I will be checking things dated November 4, 2011.

New This Week

I have eliminated the page for Certification Resources. The content of that page has been filtered into the site, most under the appropriate job family/industry heading but a few in other spots. Please use my Google search bar to find the new locations for these materials.

A few new things have made it into the guide, many of which came from the Certification page, but I was inspired to do a little bit more in the way of developing a new subject area.

  • Engineering: Career Guides -- added the STEMCareer, a resource for students, parents, educators, and counselors to learn more about the many Science, Technology, Engineeing, and Math careers and how to encourage students to pursue these courses of study.
  • Engineering: Societies and Associations -- added a link to the American Concrete Institute, which I also listed with our resources for Building and Construction. It encourages engineers to specialize in concrete, and has a nice job bank which includes jobs that rely on experience as well as education.
All of the following categories under Allied & Complementary Healthcare are either new or have had new resources added. All of the following categories under Healthcare & Medicine are either new or have had new resources added. And there are a few other things for skilled trades and logistics specialists.

I haven't yet finished indexing all of the new specialties, but it is on my calendar for next week.

Updates / Edits / Corrections

I have relisted several resources that were pulled in the past 2 months as they have become available again. These are located under British Isles: General Resources, Finance: Lending, Africa & The Middle East, and Education and Instruction: K through 12.


I have the "What's New" announcements back to January 2000 archived on my hard drive. If you really want to see them, contact me
