Job Search Engine with Job Board Functionality

Due to the current economic woes, employment sites are experiencing an increase in the number of visitors and job searches. To cope with the increasing demand for new job openings, Fresho has changed its business concept from a simple job board site to a job aggregator and job search engine. Besides crawling the Internet for jobs, Fresho also accepts direct listings from job boards, applicant tracking systems, job ad distribution systems and direct employers in XML format, at no charge. Such companies as TalentZoo.com, Jobs2Web.com, AllHealthCareJobs.com, PharmaDiversity.com, MEPjobs.com and AccountingJobsToday.com are among the first to enjoy the benefits of listing their job ads in Fresho. This move from Fresho responds to the market trends that show the increasing user preference for job aggregators instead of the traditional big emplo

No job is worth sacrificing professionalism

Okay, it's not that he hates the people, but rather the term "freelancer". Sitepoint asks Should You Retire the Word “Freelancer?” and Arron at Organized Chaos agrees.

A cameraphone is mobile phone with a barebones, blurry, feeble approximation of a camera tacked on. No zoom, no flash, no lens cover, no manual controls, no burst mode, no TV cable, no USB jack.

No, I don't want that job

Perhaps it's just that I've been in the Web design industry for nearly 14 years now that makes me look at stories like Jeffrey Zeldman relates in 20 signs you don’t want that web design project and think "you're right, I'd never take that job." I don't feel the need to accept every job that is offered to me, and I feel obligated to set terms that I can live with as well as my clients can. Unfortunately, some of the signs he references came after the job was accepted (and in some cases, completed and finalized). Ugh! Some of the scenarios I've been a part of include:

Obama's Big Gay No-No

Yesterday morning a Facebook friend updated her status with: Obama chooses anti-gay evangelist to bless his presidency; I'm boycotting the inauguration. My impulse was to ignore the status update and go on with my busy day: I had a mountain of things to accomplish as well as absorbing the death of a relative and trying to meet a writing deadline. But then it hit me, why is Obama's minister choice such a surprise? Obama has been wishy-washy about his gay sentiments throughout his campaign. One day he speaks out against civil right violations, but insists marriage is between a man and a woman—no ifs ands or buts. But then during his Acceptance Speech he roars out over a crowd of millions something about opening American doors to its gay and *** citizens.

No pomegranates in Saveh, but art works instead!

Following last winter's extreme sub-freezing temperatures (-18C and below , = - 2F) over an 18-day period in January 08, most pomegranate orchards north of the Fars province in Iran have suffered irreparable damage. The growers had no alternative but to cut down the frozen tree trunks (20cm /8 inches into the earth) to allow new shoots to spring up from the deep roots. Thus, most plantations in those areas had no pomegranate harvest this fall. In the Saveh area alone, 20.000 acres (8500 hectares) of pomegranate trees were cut down, which should have yielded some 200,000 tons of pomegranates. Next year, the growers can expect only 10 to 15% of the usual crop. It is estimated that it will take at least 5-7 years before the losses will be made up.
