Looking for a Job?

First of all, I would like to congratulate the newly graduates! You finally made it to the unemployed world. So what's next? Job hunting? Well, let me tell you something. The best thing about the internet is that you don't actually have to hit the streets to look for a job anymore. You can simply sit comfortably at home and email your resumes. There are a lot of job sites that you can find online. Here are some of them:

=International=
Monster
JobStreet
JobsDB
CareerBuilder
JustEngineers - for engineers like me :)
Craigslist - just beware of scams

=Philippines=
BestJobs
Sulit

=Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental=
http://www.jobscdo.com/
http://www.cdojobs.co.cc/
http://www.misorjobs.com/
http://www.cdojobs.ning.com/

I have also placed some freelance sites that I personally recommend in the right hand column if you would like to be a freelancer like me. If you still don't have any luck on finding a job online, then I guess you're going to need that brown envelope after all.

It might also help if you read books on how to answer job interview questions.











Here's one funny clip on how to land a job:


Good luck on your interview!

Pimp Your Blog

Wow it’s been months since I last posted and this blog has gotten a little dusty now. Looks like I have a lot to catch up. Well anyway, I’m thinking about changing my blog layout coz frankly I’m getting tired looking at this same old layout. The only problem is that I don’t know how to do it (or should I say I’m lazy enough to do it). Although there are a lot of custom layouts out there, I would love to make my own design someday (someday...the operative word)


Speaking of custom layouts, here are a few blogs that you might want to take a look:

Their designs are very lovely. You might want to order some for your blog. And if you want to design your own, these blogs have some cool scrap kits that you can download and use:


Southern Scrapz


So go ahead and pimp your blog now. Remember, good content + nice blog design = more traffic + more advertisers + more moolah! (I just love the sound of that hehe).
