More good news on the jobs front: Fewer people filed for unemployment benefits. Only 432,000, down by 13,000 from the previous week.
Hallmark’s selling gay marriage cards. More opportunity where that came from–photographers, travel agents, decorators, adoption attorneys..
There are still a few good jobs to be had. Here’s the latest installment.
Finally some good news on the jobs front: Fewer people were killed at work last year.
Here’s the rest of BusinessWeek’s BW50 Best Performing Companies. Last time I focused on jobs with companies ranked #1-#25. Truthfully, it was #1-#26. I excluded BJ Services (#8) because their company website listed no current job vacancies. That bumped #26 (Varian Medical Systems) into #25 on my list and left me with only 24 companies for this list. Whew! Got that off my chest. Now, back to the list.

Careersthatdontsuck.com presents “The Resume Autopsy”, a 2-hour intensive workshop designed to help attendees rewrite, and in some cases, resuscitate their resumes.
Why this workshop?
The second biggest complaint among job-seekers is “I send my resume and no one calls or writes me back” (The biggest complaint is that they’re still haven’t found a job). This workshop will help attendees fix the former, and thereby, the latter by teaching them how recruiters look at resumes, what things catch their eyes, which formats are best for which job types and more.
Why now?
Nearly 9 million people are unemployed. But, in July 2008, there were 3,864,100 online advertised job vacancies (2,708,000 were brand-new, not duplicates or carryovers from prior months).
Over one-third of that 9 million could have been working…if they knew how to create resumes that grabbed recruiters attention.

When and where?
The Resume Autopsy workshop will be held in San Francisco on Sept. 11, 2008. Learn more or REGISTER NOW! Tickets only $15 USD. Hurry! Only 20 seats available.
