A good flounce is expensive.

Friday Humour 7th February 2014 7:34 PM ..Beard too, I think??? Goodbye to Article Directories! 31st January 2014 3:49 PM It was such a nice idea ...  Visitors would ask me their career and job hunting questions, I and any other person with a viewpoint would answer them, I'd have all this lovely fresh content for the site and never have to write a blog again ... I didn't think about hacking risks did I? Or increased ongoing costs? Anyone want to read a blog post to be called Graduate Unemployment and the Badger Cull? Thought not. Goodbye to Article Directories! 30th January 2014 4:35 PM Wonder whether something I'm musing over now for my site might work as an effective SEO tactic and be equally beneficial for the sites of other localforums members? Please say what you all think! I'm planning to transform my site's blog (wot I don't update often enough  ) into something that answers visitors career / job search questions (for free) - and still (occasionally) offers blog articles too. I think the initial costs of making this change would be very modest. I provide this kind of service for other sites anyway (eg for the WorkingMums site) so I might as well use it to boost the number of visitors to my own site. It wouldn't be hard to find people wanting free advice with their career and job hunting issues!I can easily think of other types of businesses which could use the approach if they think it worthwhile - eg pest control; seo consultants; accountants; legal services providers; and so on. Psychometric Tests for Job Seekers 28th January 2014 7:28 PM I'm a bit suspicious about this whole story. The only people with a right to know about individuals' psychometric results (apart from themselves) were those directly involved in the selection process. It's a breach of the British Psychological Society ethical standards for such private and personal information to be given to anyone else. I also can't imagine anyone selecting for such a senior post saying to themselves "We'll place all our reliance on one form of assessment - psychometric testing - and ignore everything else that could possibly help us". Guest Blogging is dead - another link building practice bites the dust! 24th January 2014 11:05 AM So presumably the message is "keep your own blog updated and active"??? Oh dear - was it 2012 I did my last blog? Scottish Independence and the UK picks up the debt bill? 13th January 2014 9:02 PM Looked at dispassionately, I'd dump the Westminister government if I could. The Scots are lucky they've got the chance to do so! Great start to the year! 10th January 2014 7:56 PM Is the UK really worse than other parts of the developed world? Somehow would have expected Germany, Canada and the Scandinavian countries to be well-organised and secure - but that's personal prejudice speaking! |
